For the past several years, Creatures Crypt has been known as one of Illinois’ top Haunted Attractions. In fact, in 2007 it was voted the number 1 Haunted House in Illinois by HauntedIllinois.com. Their creativity, detailed sets & props made them one of the best events in the business. Sadly, 2007 was their last year, but you still have the opportunity to see this attraction one last time... and even take a part of it home with you! On June 10th, the owners of Creatures Crypt will be holding a Haunted House Auction in Bloomington, Illinois. The entire attraction must go. They will be auctioning off complete sets and scenes, as well as hundreds of individual items. Haunted Illinois has created an information page about the auction which has auction details, a link to the official 8 page auction flyer and more than 50 pictures of props & scenes that will be up for bid!!! To find out more about the auction, click on the banner below: 
Don’t pass up this opportunity to get your hands on a piece of this top-rated Haunted House! Clear your schedule for June 10th, to visit the Creatures Crypt Haunted House Auction! Happy Haunting, Adam Drendel

Well, it’s that time of year again. As they say, out with the old and in with the new. In order to keep only the most current information in our Halloween Event Directory, HauntedIllinois.com’s Haunt Database was just reset back to zero listings. What does that mean to you? Well, it means if you have listed your Halloween event with us in the past, you will have to resubmit your information, if you want to be included in our 2008 directory. You may ask “Why should I bother to submit my Halloween event info so soon? Halloween is months away...” Well, think of it this way. A Haunt directory is like an online billboard. If your event is listed in the directory longer, more potential customers will have the opportunity to see it. According to HauntedIllinois.com’s page view statistics from last year, events that submitted their information in September received 140% more page views than events that submitted in October. Also, events that submitted in August received nearly 200% more page views than events that submitted in October. Taking those statistics into consideration, you can’t argue the simple fact that submitting your information early works to your benefit. Long story short, the sooner you submit your event, the more page views you’ll get, which in turn means more potential business for your event. Don’t pass up this opportunity to give your haunted attraction some great online exposure. And remember, you don’t have to run a commercial haunted house to submit your event to our directory. It doesn’t matter if you run a charity haunted house, hayride, haunted trail, home haunt, yard display, pumpkin patch or a Halloween festival. As long as your event is Halloween-related, it is welcome in our directory. As usual, adding your listing to HauntedIllinois.com’s Halloween Event Directory is FREE, so don’t delay. Submit your information today! http://www.hauntedillinois.com/submitform2.php
