    Loved this haunted house! We went last Friday with a few friends and had purchased tickets ahead of time - the lines weren't too bad probably waited about 20 minutes to get in. The haunted house itself took about 30-40 minutes to walk through which is longer than some of the others we had gone too. Each section was done so well and they did great with the jump scares. They have some photo ops at the end + a food truck outside. Would def recommend!

    Shop area - Three wooden coffins are mounted on a dark wall, illuminated by red lights, with a sign reading "Evil Intentions" above them, indicating a haunted attraction theme.

    This continues to be my favorite haunted house every year. First, everyone who works there is great and seems really excited to talk about the place and its history. I love that it is an actual historic building and casket company. Because of the unique building and being a permanent location they've been able to build things over the years that become a permanent part of the house. Yet each year they find a new way to add more or put a twist on it so even if you've seen it before it still gets you. Their uniquely shaped maze section is the best part of the haunt for me, and this year they changed up the lighting in the most effective way that even tho I had experienced it I was completely freaked out! I have always gone on a weeknight and it's very easy to get in and you're not rushed through. This year we went on a Saturday and that was a totally different story. Packed. We waited 2 hours past our ticket time and didn't get in and just left. I emailed them to ask if I could switch my tickets to the next Thursday and they immediately replied and made it right. Truly great people. The only way I could love this haunt more is if they let us do a lights on tour in the off season!! They also sell some merch, and I would love more Elgin casket company merch. Because of this haunt we have visited other businesses in the area. We love it.

    Great locally owned and operated professional haunted house. The attractions are really good and the tour is about 45 minutes. They have a good truck out front and music playing. Staff is interactive and always will to stand for a picture in line. Great value and lots of fun.

    Went back after a few years and wow! They've changed so much since the last time I was there. The beginning experience really gets you into the mood for a haunted house. I rarely am one to jump, and they got me to jump 2 times, so I was super happy about that. Well staffed, multiple levels of the haunt. Very short wait, but it was opening night! All in all great experience and they even had photo op areas at the end of the haunt along with Evil intentions merchandise and some other spooky fun stuff!

    I'm smiling way too hard.

    I think I've hit every major and many minor haunted houses in the past 25 years. It truly has never been about size or even budget, but creativity, bang-for-buck, and actor enthusiasm. As the season of spook nears, the lines grow. This place is no exception. I think everyone knows that fast passes and vip passes are a shorter or no wait. Lets talk about general admission today. Evil Intentions opens at 7:30pm. The complimentary parking was already filled by 745. We made it into the line around 8pm. The line is known to form around the ol casket company. We entered the actual haunted house around 10. Outside, a cool wind was prevalent. Rob Zombie blasted throughout. Inside, red lights flickered and creepy, dramatic music was on max volume. What sometimes makes a decent haunt are the gouls that entertain you while you wait. This place has it's decent share of spark-emitting, baseball bat thrashing actors, both outdoors and indoors. The line inside is quite long but, in my opinion, for the best reason when it comes to haunted houses (I'll explain later). All in all, we waited almost 2 hours. Here is the reason I didnt mind the wait. I've been through many haunted houses that give you that "move along" vibe where everyone is basically in a line. I tend to stop and enjoy the acting and the ambiance. Cheaper line style haunts ruin the fun because one can see someone getting surprised by an actor ahead ...then you watch the same actor reset his position to scare you...and then there is no surprise. By making you wait allowing you to enter in your preferred group, you experience the place without either stalling behind slow groups or being told to keep moving by the fearful herd behind you. I'll give props for the actual building and many of the actors. Memorable rooms were the church, school, foggy roar metal, talkative sisters, and the disgusting dinner table room. The scare factor was medium. Scariest parts were not the entertaining rooms, but the glimpses of psychotic silhouettes at the end of hallways between the strobe flashes that charge toward you, those are my fav. Higher stars for the acting effort. Also a good ticket price to lengh of experience ratio (less costly than other larger haunts yet long enough to get your money's worth = good value). I have seen better props, scenes, and more creative scare tactics. Also, the ending is abrupt and confusing. You will realize that it is over when you go down the stairs and see them selling dat merch. 4 stars because I may have grown a little desensitized through the years, but overall a good evening out to get in the Halloween mood.

    huge lines!  I smell weed

    Never ended up entering the haunted house because the VIP Fast pass purchased from Groupon did nothing to expedite the obnoxiously two long lines and 2 hr wait. We left after waiting a long boring hour. Received no assistance from workers, well at least the one kid managing the line. Couldn't find anyone else or even a ticket counter. We were told we had to wait when I mentioned our VIP tix. That's just bs. Only saw 2 characters outside. No one acting in front of lines to entertain you. Total drag... Very poorly organized and managed. In fact the group of 4 in front of us ended up leaving also after we heard another hour wait. 2 long lines wrapped around the building. No VIP entrance...I don't care how good/scary this place is...Vip is not waiting 2 hours! Requested refund from Groupon. Boo to this place!!!

    It is worth the $11 per person for a group of 6 groupon deal! I think you should NOT buy the VIP pass so you can actually wait in line. They keep you entertained while you wait by having scary people sneak up on you. It also gives you the chance to socialize with your friends! and they a mini fireball show. As for the haunted house itself, it will not be as scary if you are in the back of the group. My friend and I were super scared and we pushed the others in front and followed them the entire time. again, if you want to get scared, you have to be the first two people in the group. if you're in the back of the group, it's somewhat scary but you won't have a heart attack. my favorite part actually was waiting in line and socializing with friends and watching my friends freak out when the chain saw guys scared them! NOTE: I do not think it's worth it for their normal $25 for one price, because the haunted house won't make you pee your pants. I would defiantly go for the groupon. Also, the parking lot was full when we went and had to park by a nearby side street. But it was no biggie, because it was only a minute walk. The area is very "shady" and your GPS will take you in a funky route because of the one ways and various road blocks.

    Scary characters!

    I'm the last person who should be reviewing a haunted anything as I can't handle even the most…read moreinnocuous ghost stories enjoyed by tots (e.g. was totally freaked out by Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit). So, the physicality of enclosures designed to terrify adults is just not something that interests me. However, I couldn't be more enthused about this bit of local flavor: Every October, a family in the sleepy town of Roselle sets up three big tents in their front yard and crafts within them a truly excellent Halloween experience for the community. We'd been noticing the tents for a while, but only started investigating them last year. I figured it was going to be the usual cutesy Halloween stuff, but no. The level of creepiness and goriness was such that I couldn't handle actually entering the tents, so I mostly looked on as my partner Wolf R. had a good time checking everything out. But even he got a little surprise at the end: While looking into the coffin in the last tent, he was spooked by a large vampire swinging down from above, and a second later, he was further startled by a person dressed in all black, including a black face mask, creeping up behind him. I'd have laughed if I wasn't so busy making sure nothing was creeping up behind me. This year I felt a bit more bold and decided to follow a whole group of little kids into the leftmost tent, themed like a haunted carnival with evil clowns. This ain't so bad, I thought, enjoying the creative clowns and even snapping a pic. And then, I don't even understand what it was, but the odd noises and spinning lights they'd set up conspired to get under my skin and I felt like I was going to totally lose it if I didn't retreat *immediately*. My god. The middle tent was the gory cannibalistic one, with zombies and body parts and -- well, I won't spoil it for you. It was so gross that I couldn't actually look at it long enough to take a picture. And this year, the last tent was themed like a haunted hotel with black lights. Nothing jumped out at my partner this time but he still loved it. As it turns out, the haunted house also promotes a good cause: They collect non-perishable food for the Bloomingdale Food Pantry. The family also accepts donations if you'd like to chip in to their haunted house efforts. I'm just hoping they'll do a set of friendly winter wondertents one of these Decembers :) Hours: According to the listing on this page (http://www.wlsam.com/calendar/default.asp?DATE=10/11/2012), they're open 6-10PM Thursdays through Sundays in October, with extended hours in the last week of October.

    This homemade haunted house (front of a yard) was very impressive! My kids and I had a blast…read more Definitely worth the visit.
