This year marks our 41st Annual Haunted House!!
H.H. Holmes World Fair 1893 - A Trip to Nowhere will open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from Oct 17th through Oct 26th starting at 7:00PM.
Each year our theme is changed to entice our audience and challenge their fears. Visitors are impressed with the creativity and special effects. Our scare factor is right up there with Halloween Horror Nights!!
This years tour will bring you face to face with one of America’s first serial killers, H. H. Holmes. In 1893, Chicago was given the honor of hosting the World’s Fair. The event attracted millions of people from all over the world. Holmes knew many visitors would search for lodging. His Hotel offered the best quality and security available for the time. Many out-of-town visitors would never be seen again.
Holmes took great pleasure in showing his guests to their very special rooms...the doors only opened from the outside! Throughout the hotel were there were trap doors, peepholes, stairways that led nowhere, and chutes that led into the basement. The basement was designed as a lab complete with a dissecting table, stretching rack, and crematory. The monies we raise go toward charitable contributions benefiting area children for scholarships to graduating High School Seniors, School Supplies, and our annual Summer Splash Bash, Easter and Christmas events.

This haunt was friggin great....
This is what every local haunt ( and some professional ..cough cough Dungeons presents the Hoard ) should strive to be more like. Very detailed.......long walk thru....tons of scares.....great attention to theme all surfaces of the environment....loaded with enthusiastic actors....this haunt has it all! We sure are glad we went. Will be back next year for sure. For $7 this was the best we have been thru this year. Don't waste your time or money in Clay County or Clermont.
