ALGONQUIN, IL — The McHenry County area is home to some seriously scary haunted yards that residents can tour for free this Halloween season. The owners of the homes— and the masterminds behind these yards — spend thousands of dollars in props and animatronics and often work throughout the year to ensure their yards are sure to thrill.

We have a roundup below of a list of area homes that are included recognized by the Chicago Haunt Builders:
