Terror at Skellington Manor — Attraction in Rock Island

Terror in The Woods, one of the Quad Cities' best beloved haunts, is reincarnated in the historic former Masons' building, now Skellington Manor, in the Rock Island District.

OMG, for my 20th Haunted House, I had a blast, THIS WAS BETTER THAN shock house, even though I was not scared at all and laughing through the whole time and hearing other people scream and be scared this was fun and professional. I definitely would recommend this to people to come to if looking for a scare. I love all the props and the clowns on the freak show. I had an interaction with one of the clowns. He motioned me "I got my eye on you." Also at the end with...
