It is thought that Holmes may have been responsible for over 200 murders. Some for business and some for pleasure. At the peak of his "career" Dr. Holmes swindled various contractors into building a two-story hotel in the heart of Chicago. This building soon became known as "The Murder Castle" as it was filled with over 100 windowless rooms, maze-like hallways and even hidden chutes that led from the upper floor to vats of acid in the basement!

Patrons to this production will enter through The Bay View Lounge which, for this show, will be decorated to resemble the lobby of "The Castle." Visitors will check in at the front desk and receive a key to their room. After spending some time in the lobby - perhaps trying their luck at a few hands of poker against the wild-west outlaw Marion Hedgepeth (who Holmes served jail time with) patrons will then tour through the dark catacombs of the Murder Castle cellar before finding their way to the theatre... if they are lucky enough to survive secret doors and a maze of torture rooms.

MURDER CASTLE: The Chronicle of H.H.Holmes promises to be yet another completely sold-out production at The Alchemist Theatre and a murderously good time for anyone looking for some professionally produced Halloween entertainment!

This October... Meet the Good Doctor.
