Terror on the Square water main

Terror on the Square has started Phase 1 of reopening their downtown location in Petersburg, Illinois. Since 1993, Terror on the Square, a unique haunted attraction, has entertained tens of thousands of people across Illinois, and beyond, with their ghost-like illusions and special effects throughout the month of October. 


 Due to a lack of a sprinkler system and other new Life Safety Code requirements, this attraction was forced to close the doors of it's historical building in 2013. In the fall of 2015, a new, larger water main was installed to support a fire sprinkler system. By installing the new water main into the building while the downtown streets and sidewalks were already under construction, the bill was considerably less than first assessed. However, the installation bill still totals $8,200 due to the size of the line and amount of work to install it. 


 Terror on the Square hopes for support from the Petersburg community, along with all its businesses and many fans to help move ahead to Phase 2 and reopen the doors of our historic downtown location, thus bringing thousands of people back to Petersburg and it's businesses. I want to thank everyone ahead of time for their support of Terror on the Square, my personal lifelong dream based on my passion of Halloween and magic.
