Haunt 31, Lake in the Hills

About Haunt 31

Haunt 31 is a fully immersive walk-through haunted house in Lake in the Hills where visitors encounter animations, props, effects, and live actors throughout the experience. The attraction features pneumatic body-slingers, two-story spider webs, static zombies, and custom-built props engineered with theatrical lighting and detailed scene design. Most animations are designed and constructed on-site rather than purchased, reflecting decades of craftsmanship in pneumatics, welding, and special effects. The haunt welcomes families and groups seeking a memorable Halloween experience with varying levels of scare intensity. Visitors walk through elaborate scenes populated by props and performers as they progress through the house. The attraction has grown from its 1999 debut with basic plywood tombstones into one of the nation's top home haunts, drawing thousands of guests seasonally. Setup begins in early fall and continues through the haunting season, with the creator's attention focused on creating memorable experiences for every visitor.
