Chicago home haunt FAQ
What is a home haunt?
A home haunt is a Halloween display or walk-through haunted house built by a family in their own front yard or garage — not a commercial attraction. Most Chicago home haunts are free, run by neighbors, and open only a handful of nights around Halloween.
Are home haunts in Chicago free?
Almost always yes. Home haunts are passion projects, so there's rarely a ticket. Some collect canned goods or donations for charity — each FrightSpot listing notes it when they do.
When are Chicago home haunts open?
Most open the last two weeks of October, with the biggest nights on the weekend before Halloween and on Halloween itself. Every listing on FrightSpot shows the exact dates and hours the haunt is running.
How do I find home haunts near me in Chicago?
Open the FrightSpot Haunt Map and tap "Use My Location" to see every home haunt near you sorted by distance, with one-tap directions and multi-stop routes so you can hit several in one night.
How do I add my Chicago home haunt?
