Best we have been to yet.

We visit anywhere from 5-10 haunts a year, this was our first year visiting Screams. It was an awesome experience. We were there on a sold out night, so the wait was a tad longer - but they have line actors keeping everyone entertained. The whole experience was great - great haunts, great scenes, great sounds, great actors. Good Job everyone!!

Worth the 3 hour drive!!

We came up from downstate to check this haunt out after seeing the reviews on Scare Factor. This place was well worth the drive - The Haunts were absolutely amazing, and we were able to make a whole night out of ut due to their midway experiences. They have lost of great food out there as well - You can have a whole meal!! We will keep coming back.

Little wait....big payoff

We were there on their sold out night - The line was a little long, but SO WORTH IT!! We waited in line for about an hour - Considering it was a sold out night an hour is nothing, we have waited 3 hours for a 5 minute experience at HHN. This place is so worth the wait, amazing actors and sets.

Best We Have Been To!!

This was by far the best haunt we have been to in Michigan so far!! The price. and what they offer if amazing. We talked to the owner a bit - they have 50+ scare actors on top of their regular staff....that is crazy to us. We have been to so many that seem to only use a handful of actors, so this was an awesome experience.

Almost noped out in line!

This place is insane :) From the very start....even while in line you aren't safe. There were 3 actors stalking the line....as we were watching one, another one in a straight jacket literally spider crawled through our feet....don't think I ever jumped that high before. The whole event was so worth it!!

Skip HalloWeekends - COME HERE!!

We decided this year to skip our HalloWeekends trip and just hit some haunts in Michigan. After going here I think we will be skipping our trip more often. This haunt blows away the haunts at Cedar point - Don't get me wrong cedar point is beautiful....but not scary. This haunt is both!!! Great scenes, great sets, energetic actors, and scary as hell!! You have a new fan!

The screams were so loud!!

We went on opening weekend, and just standing in line you could hear all the screaming going on - It definitely got all of our nerves going. It was a great time, and we are all planning on going back this season!!

All things Halloween

We took our family out on their No-Scare night - It was so fun to be able to take our time and enjoy all the details we miss suring the regular show. Our kids are to young for their regular show, so this was a great way for them to experience the sights without the frights :) Their whole setup is magically scary....like it is so visually stunning...but at the same time terrifying. Keep up the great work!!

Spooky night of fun!!

Our family visited last night, and we had such a great time. It was all done so well, our kids had a blast even if the were terrified the entire time. My husband even got a few good scare which made it all worth it for me. The price is so cheap for what you get to experience. We would highly recommend it to anyone!!

Screaming all night!!!

We went last night with a group of 10. We all had an absolute amazing time. The haunts were so well done, and the Midway was a blast even though the escape games were not running. You have to try all the food as well - some great food trucks!!

2 Hour Drive - and it was amazing!!

We were one of the first groups through on opening night, this is our first time visiting. Immediately getting past the ticket booth you are tossed into a Haunted Ghost Town where you wait to be let into the manor. They had scare actors roaming the line keeping everyone on edge during the wait - Then the opening ceremony started. They have a projection mapped show that plays over the manor as their main character tells a back story. Then it was our turn - No spoilers, but WOW they go all out at this place, the effects, the actors, the sounds, the lighting - all of it were awesome! We will definitely be back this season!!

Awesome attraction!

This was an awesome 3 in 1 attraction. The house was great, the haunted woods was even better and if you don’t like clowns, that part is well done too! It took some time to get through it all, definitely got my $20 worth! Actors and costumes were top notch. Love that this is a permanent fixture so they can keep adding to it each year. Best haunt I’ve been to in NoMi.

Absolutely worth it!!

We were invited out for their sneak peek media night on September 26th - This was our first time visiting, we generally travel for the fall season to haunts in Florida like HHN. We had heard good things about this haunt.....and wow we were not expecting the scope of this event. They have two indoor haunts, and a long haunted trail. The theming was perfect, the soundtracks layered the entire event, and the actors nailed their parts. Definitely one of the top haunts we have been to. Their Midway was a blast, and the Dirty Soda food truck was so yummy!!

Simply Awesome

I went with friends for their opening night and... wow! This haunt is incredible! We had maybe a 20 minute wait due to their new timed tickets which is a great change from a 3 hour wait that other reviews spoke of! The haunt is amazing in it's details, and you want to go slow to inspect everything but also want to rush to the next place to see what's next! The scares start immediately and we were about knocked on our butts from a scare immediately after being told the rules and it just doesn't stop! The trail is so cool and the outbuilding were so interesting and well thought out. The clown place was insane! I just can't gush enough about this! I even got a little ghost charm from their souvenir shop and some fries and an elephant ear in their after area. Oh and we got to take pictures in their picture area with the actors. All for $20!!
