Lockport, IL – HellsGate Haunted House, Chicagoland’s only haunted house hidden deep in the woods, is returning with even more thrills and chills this Halloween season. Visitors will face an extended 45-minute adventure through over 40 rooms, including newly uncovered horrors lurking in the sewers beneath the manor.

Zombie Army Productions has expanded the haunted house experience, adding new rooms, scares, and live actors, including characters from the infamous Statesville Haunted Prison. Guests will walk haunted trails, cross a zombie-filled cemetery, explore secret passages, and ride a slide into the basement laboratory.

HellsGate opens its doors from September 27 to November 3, with tickets ranging from $37 for general admission to $70 for instant entry. Visitors can also enjoy the Monster Midway after the show, featuring bonfires, games, and more seasonal fun.

Location: Guests must park at 301 W 2nd St., Lockport, IL 60441.
