We are dying to bring you our 7th Annual Best Decorated Halloween Houses list with a map, photos, and important details (including how scary it is, when the display be ready, and hours for houses with light/music shows)! We also prepared driving routes for Halloween House Tours.
Hocus pocus, its time to focus… on the best decorated houses for Halloween in Chicago’s suburbs! Local families have gone all out to create displays for everyone to enjoy. Neighbors all over Chicagoland deck out their houses with spooky decorations, punny gravestones, fog machines, bubbles, and more.
My boo crew loves to pile in the car and drive around looking at giant Halloween displays. We hop out of the car to check out the local spooky decorations and music. The kids love to bring glow sticks, a pumpkin cookie, and hot apple cider for a fun night out. Sometimes we even let them dress up in their Halloween costumes to do our spooky driving tours!
We think this pack of glow sticks is pretty great, and one of the moms on our team found this flashlight that projects a ghost, spider, pumpkin, skull, or bat, which makes it even more fun! (If you purchase through these affiliate links, it’s the same price, but we’ll earn a commission that helps support Kidlist.)

Looking for more Halloween houses? Chicago Haunt Builders has an extensive list of Halloween decorated houses throughout Chicagoland.
Although it’s not decorated the same as the other houses on this list, it’s definitely worth mentioning that a homeowner on the southeast corner of Childs Street and South Pierce in Wheaton, not far from DuPage Fairgrounds, carves an enormous pumpkin that he grows himself. It’s incredibly impressive and worth driving by!

Now that the Halloween season is over, I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your list! My husband and I would pick a different group each weekend. We made it to all the houses! We appreciate all the work you do in putting together this list…all the details and pictures. We like that the houses were listed in alphabetical order as well as grouped by area. By the way, we live in New
Lenox and we are glad you had some houses from New Lenox listed.
Thanks again for the nice service you have provided!
I stumbled upon this list looking for ideas for 2023. This is an awesome list. I hope you have a new list coming up.
Yes! We check in with each homeowner, accept submissions for houses to add to the list, and update this one every year.
There’s a house on Woodworth Pl, in Roselle, between Roselle Rd and Prospect, that blows all of these away
Thanks! We’ll have to check it out.
