💀 Our Story

The Birth of Fear. The Rise of Hells Devil Estate.

What started as a passion for the dark, twisted, and terrifying has grown into a full-blown movement—Hells Devil Estate. Born from the minds of thrill-seekers and creatives who craved more than cookie-cutter haunted houses, we set out to redefine fear by creating immersive, high-intensity horror experiences that leave a mark long after guests leave our gates.

Founded by Jakob Harnesk, a visionary with a relentless drive to push boundaries, Hells Devil Estate began as a single attraction built on grit, grind, and gallons of fake blood. Alongside a powerhouse leadership team—including Dilon Elston, Jerome Payne, and others equally obsessed with precision and terror—we turned a local haunt into an expanding phenomenon.

But we’re not just about screams and shadows—we’re a family of artists, operators, and adrenaline junkies hell-bent on raising the standard of horror entertainment. Every actor, designer, and team member is part of something bigger: a movement that turns fear into fuel and strangers into loyal fans.

With our flagship haunt in Princeton, IL, and plans for expansion across North America, Hells Devil Estate is more than an attraction—it’s an empire of nightmares. And we’re just getting started.

Welcome to the Estate.

Once you're in... there’s no turning back.
