Realm of Terror has been part of Halloween in Round Lake Beach since 2003. Over those seasons, the cast, themes, sets and effects have changed.

How the show has changed

The event now includes the main walkthrough, a midway, the Monster Museum, games, food and drinks. Family Frights and No Actor Night offer different ways to visit the attraction.

Our awards page collects independent reviews and rankings from across that history, with links to the original publishers.
