Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare

Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare last ran in 2015. The information below is for archival, but someday Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare *may* return. Find more great haunted attractions near you.

Rob Zombie’s bone-chilling experience combined the best HAUNTED HOUSE technology featured in 3 different haunted attractions. The attractions will put you in the middle of the most immersive experience of your life.
The three attractions are based on Rob Zombie’s horror films and characters:

  1. Captain Spaulding’s Clown School in 3D,
  2. The Devil’s Rejects, and
  3. the film 31.

It’s the ultimate midway, BLOODY BOULEVARD, with roaming creatures, freak shows, themed food and drink, musical entertainment, and creepy activities. The Bloody Boulevard will not be open on concert nights but there will still be plenty of roaming freaks and food and beverages
An entire night of fun and fright.

When will Rob Zombie bring back the Great American Nightmare?

So far, there has been no word on a return from Rob Zombie and no reason given for his hiatus. The last Great American Nightmare haunted house was in 2015. Perhaps Covid has played a role in the continued absence of this Halloween fan favorite. Only time will tell.

Captain Spaulding’s Clown School in 3D

This irreverent school of pure terror is a hallucinogenic trip through the mind of Captain Spaulding.  Startle after startle will thoroughly frighten the bravest victim, who won’t know whether they should be screaming, laughing, or crying.
The Devil’s Rejects

The murderous, backwoods Firefly family takes to the road to escape a vengeful police force that isn’t afraid of being as ruthless as its target. Guests will become part of the stat troopers’ search and destroy mission against the Firefly family who are wanted for over 75 homicides and disappearances.
31

On October 30, 1975, five carnival workers were kidnapped and held hostage until the following night (Halloween), when they are put in a compound named “Murder World”. They’re told that they are there to take part in a game named “31” where the goal is to survive past the next 12 hours. This is made difficult by the fact that they are not alone in Murder World; a violent gang of evil clowns is there and stalking their every move.
BLOODY BLVD

All NEW Bloody BLVD with Major Carnival Rides, Freak shows, musical entertainment, roaming characters, themed food and beverages, games, and vendors.

Midnight Terror Productions is a company dedicated to bringing you a truly unique and frightful experience. We have taken what we have learned over 15 years in the Haunt industry and put on a terrifying show every year! Our team is what really makes us different. We have assembled a staff that specializes in all things that go bump in the night. This allows us to be able to bring fresh and new ideas to the haunt industry year after year. Simply put we love what we do so we do it well! Along with scaring we like to be involved with the community and donate to charities whenever we can.
Last year was Midnight Terror’s first year as a pro-level Haunted House. Teamed up with the Village of Oak Lawn, Midnight Terror brought Oak Lawn their first ever commercial haunted house. The location was the old Beatty Lumber Site located at 9531 S 52nd Ave. This location although old and outdated was turned into a state of the art facility that entertained close to 10,000 people last October. With only a few months time Midnight Terror was able to turn an empty warehouse, into a remarkable haunted attraction that drew business from all over the state.
Midnight terror has also won many awards, 6th best Halloween event in Illinois, 6 out 5 from Horror Tours, and Horror Tours hall of fame. Midnight Terror was also featured in the Oak Lawn patch, Inside Oak Lawn, South Side Star, Spooky Things Blog, Haunt Search, Hauntedillinois.com, hauntedhousechicago.com and Haunters Digest. Midnight terror is also sponsored by many local businesses in the area.
All we truly know is that we breathe all things Halloween, and want you to come and truly Experience Fear!
