The Old Joliet Haunted Prison returns for the 2022 season
Chicagoland’s Only Haunted House Inside an Actual Abandoned Prison
Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group ThirteenthFloor.com, producers of world-class live events and location-based entertainment experiences, returns with The Old Joliet Haunted Prison for the 2022 haunting season.
Officially open to the public on Saturday, September 24, and select nights through November 5, 2022, The Old Joliet Haunted Prison is the only haunted house in the Chicagoland area located inside a real abandoned prison and promises more scares than ever before.
The Old Joliet Haunted Prison will feature two new main attractions:
Here are some of the attraction
- The Abominations: Dormant for centuries, The Abominations are tragic beings hungry for the companionship of living flesh. Cursed with an insatiable appetite, they cannot help but feast upon the innocent souls they capture, condemning everyone to eternal suffering.
- Tormented: Rageful after suffering atrocities at the hands of the paranormal scientists, The Condemned seek to lure others to their eternal suffering as revenge. No one can escape their phantom grasp as they dwell in the afterlife, tormented!
Guests can also partake in mini-interactive and immersive escape games, indulge in on-site local food trucks and enjoy spooky libations and concessions at The Commissary before or after experiencing the haunted house.
Tickets are on sale now, beginning at $19.99. The event may be too intense for children under 12.

The Old Joliet Haunted Prison is located at 401 Woodruff Rd., Joliet, IL 60432.
