Amenti - The Egyptian Theatre Haunted House

Amenti is the Egyptian Goddess guarding the world of the dead. Within her gates lie the horror of th Within her gates lie the horrors of the Egyptian underworld.

This attraction is one of the most talked about events in the DeKalb area every October. Over 3,000 people experience the horrors of Amenti each year. 2014 will be the 9th year that Amenti has been open and continues to grow and change every year. Terror after terror await those who dare to enter. But be careful, Amenti jealously guards her gates and assures that no one escapes. This event takes p

lace inside the historic Egyptian Theatre in downtown DeKalb, IL. The Egyptian Theatre is owned and operated by P.E.T. (Preservation of Egyptian Theatre, Inc.) a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The proceeds from this event go towards the ongoing operations and building improvement of this historic landmark. It is VERY unique to have a haunted house inside of an historic theatre that is still in use AND also has a number of ghosts inside year round!

With the fall season arriving we wanted to let everyone know that we have continued searching for a new location that can accommodate our growing needs, be financially feasible, and meet all the state requirements for a haunted attraction. We have not been able to secure something yet and will continue looking. We hope to be able to bring Amenti back to life in the DeKalb area again. This event is produced by the Egyptian Theatre who continues to oversee the effort of finding a new location. After 9 years in the Egyptian Theatre we were bursting at the seams and outgrew the space. Have a fantastic haunt season and we hope to see you all again soon!
