Get ready for a terrifying experience when you visit Screams In The Dark at the Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds. Screams in the Dark Haunted Attractions, Traverse City Here are six of the best from all over the state.ġ. (Terebus said compare that to some southern states where he couldn’t find even one haunted house.) We were able to find them in every region of Michigan, except for the Upper Peninsula. There are around 100 haunted attractions in the Mitten State, with new ones added every year. If you want a good old-fashioned scare to celebrate Halloween, apparently Michigan is the place to be. So Michigan earns the title of Halloween Capital of the World. He says since no one challenged his claim, he believes his numbers are right. He discovered Michigan has more haunted attractions than any other state. Last year, Ed Terebus, one of the owners of Erebus Haunted Attraction in Pontiac, told the Detroit Metro Times he came to that conclusion after doing some research. Went with my friend and we loved the whole experience.Did you know Michigan may be the unofficial Halloween Capital of the World? For the scares, I thought Erebus was not too expensive. We’d anticipated long queues and hence opted for the fast pass and it helped. Went with my friend and we loved the whole experience. Truly unique scares and phenomenal actors.Loved the interaction between guests and characters. Great details and very well set up.Audio and visual effects were spot on. Scare Factor:įantastic haunt! They actually put you in smaller groups. Next year, I will try a different haunted house in the area in hopes that my experience will not suffer from over-crowding like it did at Erebus. Overall, Erebus was a pretty good experience, but realizing that they made me skip one or more areas certainly put a damper on the fun. Since they had me skip that section, it also makes me wonder what else I missed simply because they were trying to get the crowds through as fast as possible. I was surprised and disappointed when I emerged from the ending of Erebus without going through that area. I thought that sounded quite unique and fun, so I was looking forward to it. When I was looking up information about the attraction, one of the features Erebus advertised the most was their "buried alive" ball area. The major factor that brought my rating of the attraction down was the fact that they had me skip one or more areas of the haunted house, presumably because of how many people were there. The actors in the haunted house did their job excellently, they all stayed in character and seemed very into it. My favorite use of special effects was in the swamp area where they created a realistic looking fog that I had to walk through. The special effects in Erebus were stunningly good and greatly contributed to fun. By the time I walked through the area, I knew what was coming and was not startled whatsoever. Although, it was still a bit annoying when all the people in front of me were triggering the animatronic jump-scares. I did expect it to be crowded after reading some reviews before going, so I was not put off by the long line. Be warned that parking is $5 cash, and if you buy a ticket there it is cash only.

However, I did find Erebus to be quite fun to walk through, and the price was reasonable since I went on a weekday. Email Verified Fun, but with some disappointmentįirst, I did not find the attraction that scary simply because I do not scare easily, so others may find it scarier.The quality is there for the props, some of the actors had timing issues, but other than that. Not many places are multiple stories with multiple themed rooms. Email Verified Very detailed and lots to look at.ĭespite the outrageous wait times, the haunt is good.It was crazy fun had a fuckin blast going again next weekend can’t wait to bring the rest of my crew through Scare Factor: Ad long as they're open, I'll be there every year😊 Scare Factor: If you like to be scared, this is the place for you. I'm obsessed with all things horror and Halloween and this is my favorite haunted attraction I've been to! This year will be my 5th year in a row going to Erebus. The Changes made from when last time we went (Pre Covid) was good. Which is good, because we were not being sent in with other groups which i hate. Me and my family went last Night 10/13/22.
