The Evolution of the Haunted House


 

With the Halloween season upon us, today's edition of the Chicago Tribune features an article about Amling's Haunted House, a seasonal tradition in Melrose Park, IL that began in 1950. The Amling family, locally known for their flower and garden stores, opened the haunted house's doors 60 years ago, and it is believed to be the industry's pioneer.

Halloween was far less commercial at the time, and you were more likely to be frightened by a gorilla costume than something cross-promoting the latest horror film. Even though Amling's flower shops changed ownership, the haunted house was able to stay open until the late 70s or early 80s.
