16640 S. Laramie Avenue, Oak Forest, IL
year: 2012
The tourers stumbled upon this yard display while looking for Jason's Campsite Massacre, a new yard display in Oak Forest. In fact, the first time we visited, we thought this was Jason's Campsite Massacre, given that there was a hockey mask as part of the display. However, it turns out that we were in the wrong place, but we were able to add another Oak Forest haunt to the list.
The Chop Shop display is a rather simple one, featuring a few lighted objects, some tombstones, a skeletal creature hanging from the garage, and what looks like a Jason Voorhees figure imprisoned in a cage. Overall, nothing remarkable, although there was one figure at the edge of the driveway that was motion activated and started crawling towards you once you passed. Aside from that, there's not a lot to see, although the display does hold promise. It appears that this was the first year for this display, so it potentially could grow in years to come. Since it is just a few houses up from Jason's Campsite Massacre, and very close to some other Oak Forest haunts like Nightmare on Newport and Frankenstein's Wedding, it's worth a quick look if you are in the Oak Forest area. |
