The Massacre Naperville, IL Reviewed on: Thursday, October 7, 2010 Admission Cost: $20 The newly revamped attraction has taken on a lot of changes from last year. Instead of a strict hotel-theme, it has taken more of a standard classic haunted house format with some apocalyptical tones. Using the laser tag arena on Odyssey’s second floor for their opening sequence, oil drums are scattered about as special effect lighting cuts through the foggy atmosphere. Actors attack sharply and then usually tail the group for a while, forcing a few “walk faster” moments. Following this same theme, we completed the first sequence of the house and were led to a scene with a solider that had lost his mind. As he paced back and forth babbling about not being able to take it anymore, he waved a prop that seemed to resemble a sawed-off shotgun. What happens next? Oh come now, if we told you that, you wouldn’t have a reason to go see the show. BUT, what we can tell you is that it happens quick and without warning. AND the actor that performs it has perfect timing with the effect. So, make sure you don’t blink, because you don’t want to miss this. As we continued along our trail we managed to get harassed by clowns, lost in a red and white circus tent maze, shocked a few times in some dark hallways, and even almost lost a hand to a T-Rex that just happened to be lurking around. If you are looking for a great evening itinerary, Midnight Massacre’s frightening tour mixed with Odyssey Fun World’s vast selection of games makes for a perfect night out this October! -hauntedhousechicago.com
