Visiting a haunted house is preferable to living in a haunted house, where pillows beg to be turned into ghost costumes and toasters imprint bread with pictures of you getting a wedgie. Make a pit stop at an eerie abode with today's Groupon: for $16, you get a V.I.P. speed pass to the Disturbia Torment of Fears haunted house, located at the Golf Dome in Addison (a $35 value). Choose between the following dates:

Winner of the People’s Choice Award for best haunted house two years in a row from readers of Chicago Haunted House, Disturbia Torment of Fears sets spines to tingle with an arsenal of creepy attractions. Guests equipped with a V.I.P. speed pass skip to the front of the waiting line, receiving rapid entry and skipping otherwise-mandatory pat-downs from the house’s werewolf security guards. Upon entry, complete darkness envelops visitors as terrifying characters and nightmarish scenarios coerce screams out of hiding. Free parking keeps cars safe from the frights, and an indoor waiting area shields visitors from wind, weather, and jack-o’-lanterns that have developed self-awareness.
