Brick Thunder’s Vision Comes to Life: Inside 5 Points Haunted House

Miles McCabe, known to his fans as Brick Thunder, is a young visionary in the world of haunted attractions and animatronics. In his latest creation, 5 Points Haunted House in West Chicago, he invites fans to experience an immersive journey that pushes the boundaries of fear and fun. This isn’t Miles’s first haunted masterpiece; it follows his award-winning Lehman Manor, which captivated thousands and earned him $50,000 on ABC’s The Great Halloween Fright Fight in 2023.

A Haunting Journey with Brick Thunder

With over 80,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 30 million video views, Miles has built a strong fanbase around his passion. Starting his collection at age nine, he transformed his hobby into a full-blown phenomenon. By last Halloween, Lehman Manor had attracted more than 5,000 visitors and showcased over 150 animatronics, turning his home haunt into a must-see attraction. Now, with 5 Points Haunted House, Miles takes his ambition to new heights, guiding visitors through five eerie sections featuring 50 animatronics, 30 live actors, and scenes crafted for ultimate fright.

Future Plans Beyond Halloween

Not only does 5 Points Haunted House deliver spine-chilling thrills, but it’s also set to expand into a year-round attraction with themed events beyond Halloween. Imagine holiday-themed haunts for Christmas or special scares for Friday the 13th. Miles’s vision is to create a dynamic, ever-evolving experience that draws thrill-seekers throughout the year.
