The Scream Machine Haunted Attraction

We have gone to this haunted house now 3 years in a row and done the Christmas part as well 2 years in a row.
I always jump the most at this haunt and the elevator is so much fun. Its set up well and theres a lot of details in it. Theres a lot of jump scares and the actors are amazing. They will stay in character and talk with you or keep you moving to space people accordingly. They also re-space you towards the end which is nice if you do catch up to the people in front of you.
We paid for a fast pass and waited around 15 mins.

The Xmas event was a lot of fun, its very festive and they change the house around a bit to make it a little different. You also get a picture for free with a bloody Santa before you walk though and the staff there are also amazing.

We love this haunt and are sad to see this is their last year at this location, we hope they find a new building since we love it so much.

Didn't have super high expectations going in, but this place surprised me. It's bigger than it looks from the outside and the rooms have a lot packed into them. Some of the scares are loud and obvious, others sneak up on you.

A good night and would go again with a different group.

My brother and I go to haunted houses together every fall, so we've seen some good ones and some very questionable ones.

This one was easily the best this year. The sets are actually built out instead of looking like temporary decorations or dollar store discount buys.

Would absolutely do it again.

1000% Better than Hush

October 2023

Well the headline is not 100% accurate since The Haunt in Grand Rapids is technically behind a strip mall, but as far as lower budget haunts go, The Scream Machine has been a MUST visit every year for my haunt group. The haunt itself was small, however the changes they made every year made it fresh and worth the visit. The asylum section is terrifying every year, and in 2021 they had a projection system that projected spiders and it legit made my buddy scream. Any haunt that makes a lifetime haunt fan scream is an automatic 5/5.

They moved this off season to a much larger, self contained building, and have been posting videos of them building all-new sets for the new location. It's a labor of love at Scream Machine, and they know for sure what to do. Also had a top quality short escape room if that's your bag, which I'm sure is moving to the new spot as well. They are worth visiting every season if you're local to downriver Detroit.

The haunt experience is great, our favorite so far..
However wasn't at all happy about an hour & a half wait in line. I Don't see the point of choosing an arrival time when purchasing tickets, when your time comes and goes. We got in line about 9 20 for a 10pm arrival, we didn't get in until 10 45. I understand the VIP line, but maybe a 2 general to 1 VIP might get people moving a bit quicker. Wasn't to happy about the smoking, vaping and pot smell in line.

F*CKING AWSOME I SPENT 50 DOLLOERS

DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY!!!! I went there to get the crap scared out of me and they delivered!!! It was so much fun and the staff abides by the no touch rule as long as we don't touch them (really appreciated that.) Overall had so much fun and will be coming back with my family this time to watch them get scared. Also when I lost my phone the staff where very calm and very nice about helping me find it.
