Haunted Emporium Magazine: chicago valentines day weekend

Tired of traditional Valentine's Day Ideas?

Haunted Houses and Burgers? Cool. Go shred your Ex - party if you’re really hating.Huzzah!

Concerts - there’s nothing that says I love you more then moshing it up ~

There’s some really good events out there this weekend - and early into next week. Get out there and enjoy them. Don't spend another year snoozing

Happy Halloween ~

Haunted Houses

Had to do this first ~ and 4 of this area’s haunts are open. Massacre is Saturday only. Make sure to check dates/times for all haunts - and for discounts before you head out to your destination.

Valentine’s Day in Wonderland

Nothing says I love you more then being surrounded by the Dead ~ First year for a Valentine’s Day opener. Their seasonal is pretty terrific ~ Looking forward to seeing this one.

13th Floor’s Valentine’s Day X

13th Floor to me has always been known for their visuals ~ Wouldn’t expect anything less then what they constantly deliver. Scares are fun. Great costumes. May wish to grab a vip coming here - always a good wait coming here.

Valentine’s Day Massacre - at Massacre Haunted House

Oh Massacre, how I love thee ~ Bloody for Halloween, Gore for the New Year. Massacre is gritty and fun. Always cool prop and costume additions, continually adding on - there’s always a good surprise each season.

Midnight Terror

Another new Valentine’s Day haunt, and Halloween’s was fun. Loved their chainsaw area - nothing fancy - enjoyed the acting - fun dialog - and you should’ve seen everyone’s faces as they were running away from - actors did an excellent job.

Music

Few good shows here - my main being Spare Change playing with Lodi. If you’re South Side, you know Bryan - if not, you should see them. Their new album is out - If you dig Punk, it’s a good listen. This has been moved from the Double Door to Reggies (great food) - link will take you there instead.
