Best special effects ever!

Disorienting, amazing actors and great atmosphere. One of the best haunted houses I have been to. And they have great effects and lights. It's one of those haunted houses that take a while to go through which was the best part. Really worth the money definitely would recommend.

Fun with a little spook

Super neat to get to tour a haunted ship. Well organized. Went on one of the busiest nights and the closeness to other groups took out a little scare but still fun. Come prepared to climb ladder stairs, navigate in the dark and take big steps into doorways

Amazing

I just wished they have a little bit more time between groups, we were having to wait for the people infront to walk with no opportunities to pass them before we could walk, by the end there were even people right behind us. We still loved it so much will definitely come again

Fantastic and unique experience! From the staff/volunteers to the actual ship and decorations and props..This place was incredible! Our party was a bunch of first timers, and were beyond impressed. The scares were great, and the props were so realistic. We loved every minute of this experience. We will definitely be back for more horror and fun!

Thank you for the awesome review! We have not stored this review in the reefer! Reefers are freezers on a ship. Ours are large enough to store many bodies of animals! I know where your mind was going, and as far as the monsters know, humans are classified as animals.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We appreciate this review very much! Not only did they leave a great review, they tasted amazing in the broccoli cheese stew the monsteres cooked up for lunch!

Went for the blackout event, was so much fun! Barely being able to see and having the actors jump out and scare us made for a super scary time! Laughed and screamed the entire time. All the actors and staff were super cool too. Would recommend!

Thank you for the great review!!! Unfortunately some of our monsters are a little on the germaphobe side. All it would take is for them to grab someone who forgot to take a shower that day, and all HE DOUBLE HOCKY STICKS would break out. We have a creed of no drama on the ship, and that would be out the window! I get it, I was just as surprised to learn Monsters can be afraid of germs... Go figure.

The event was very well organized by people who seemed to genuinely enjoying pulling it off. Looking at the shop for the destroyer was also a treat.

This is the best haunted attraction I have been to. My husband and I go with my sister in law and her husband to different haunted attractions and this one was all of our favorite!! Although it is busy and has a bit of a wait time, the way they have it set up so you can wait in your car and not have to stand out in the cold is a huge bonus. There is so much effort and decoration put into every single area of the ship. They do so well on targeting people's fears. There were themes and areas that I've never seen before and it was amazing. Such a phenomenal job and we will absolutely be coming back in the years to come. It was a fantastic time.

Definitely fun with many genuine thrills

VERIFIED

I went with my friend tonight and we both had a good time with a lot of scares and a lot of laughs. Prior to yesterday I had never even heard of this attraction, but I can say now that I'm really glad we went there and had the experience. We took turns going first through sections, and going first or second has it's own flavor of scary. Some of the lasers have such a disorienting effect in the dark, it really adds to the experience. I feel like they had the level of lighting mastered. It's super cool descending into the ship as it feels like you're going deeper into this inescapable Hell. You've got to let go and buy into the whole lore of the attraction and you will have a lot more fun. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and will for sure be going again next year.

My family and I did the Edson incident about 6 years ago and it was fun. However, I was not expecting to be as terrified and shocked (in a great way) as I was this year!

I ended up going through the Incident alone, and it was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever done! I highly recommend this haunted attraction. I had never been on the ship before experiencing the Incident, and I think that made it even scarier and more fun and immersive for me. Some spots were so dark, I did not know which way to go, and there were many narrow stairways almost like ladders. It was so much fun though, everyone was very nice, and I will definitely be returning!

An excellent evening adventure.

VERIFIED

The adventure takes place on a U.S. warship that takes guests in from the bridge to the depths of the ship. The narrow passages and companionways add to the claustrophobia and scary points in the adventure (no spoilers here). As with all older warships these passages, hatches, and stairwells, etc., can be difficult to navigate for taller or larger visitors. The adventure was great, everything my wife and I wanted from a haunted attraction. By the end, my wife was frazzled. Well done! The management and haunted crew were supper nice. My wife accidentally dropped something and they went out of their way to return it. Please visit this attraction and enjoy it. We also visited this ship several years ago, and during the daytime, as a floating museum, there's a lot to see and learn from. Please do this as well and give proper respect to the ship.

It was a great experience. Not only do you get the experience of the haunted house but you also get the experience of the ship tour in one. Just watch your step and don’t trip.

Super Unique Concept!

VERIFIED

This haunt is so cool. Ran by the historic preservation society that owns the boat, they totally do the goofy Scooby-Doo style cartoony-makeup-and-ghosts-haunt to a T. It is family-friendly and leans into the fact that this boat is the destination of many field trips across Michigan's schools.

The Edson is a real ship that saw wartime action in Vietnam, commissioned in 1958 and retired in 1988. That fact alone makes this a "legit" haunted boat without the decorations, and the biggest strong suit of this haunt is the boat itself. The haunt takes you on a one-way path through the ship, starting on the top deck/bridge and eventually going through the engine rooms and up a hatch on the stern. It is not easy to navigate physically with very narrow passages becoming even more narrow with the haunt decorations added in. The scares are mostly jump scares, and the actors dress the part in naval uniforms as it seems they may be volunteers or work with the museum that owns the boat.

All-in-all this is a decent haunt, at a good price point with the profits going to a good cause, and if it wasn't so far away from my group's home base, we'd go up every season since it's so unique.

Pros:
- Real, war-used Vietnam era ship
- The actors/volunteers are good and kind to younger kids
- Super cool getting to the parking lot and seeing it lit up and hearing the horn blow every 90 seconds.
- There's a light history presentation before the haunt, not nearly what you would get visiting the regular museum, but enough to get something "more" from your haunt experience.

Cons:
- Line can get ridiculously long. They only allow a certain amount of people to stand in the line and they do a first-come, first-served digital queue. This could very easily be alleviated by doing what haunts like Eloise do and have them sell a set number of tickets per half hour time slot, but this issue is ultimately minor.
- It's really tight inside so groups can back up if one group moves slowly due to accessibility issues. This happened to our group and kind of ruined the experience because the lady in front of us would not let us pass her group, causing 4 groups to all exit together.
- If you like adult/gory/intense horror, this haunt is not that. I did not factor this con into my score.

The Edson is always on my Spooky To Do List!
The people who put on the event, and all the people who volunteer, are all so passionate about saving the Edson and making it the top Scare Location in the State!
The costumes, decor, and ambience are perfect for this old ship! And of course, the Edson has lots of spookiness without any help- the creaking and groaning of metal, and the resident ghosts may even make an appearance... if you are brave enough!

Thank you for the awesome review!!! Glad to see it was worth the long drive! This review also added to the Edson experience! We got a new fire pit this year and had to test it out after scaring for the night. Nothing like fresh mean cooked over an open flame!!! Thank again for the review and the meal! Much appreciated!
If you're debating on a haunt to go to, pick this one.

Me and my girlfriend went here on the first weekend of October and it was our first time experiencing this haunt. I didn't go in expecting to be blown away but I left genuinely impressed. People go on about how St Charles or Jackson or Holly has the best haunts in MI, but I didn't feel as immersed as I was here. You don't see too many haunts on a warship so it was refreshing to experience something new. Overall this is in my top 5 haunts in MI and it's definitely worth the small price compared to other more expensive haunts.

Overall this is in my top 5 haunts in MI and it's definitely worth the small price compared to other more expensive haunts.

Recipe for Fun!

VERIFIED

We've enjoyed this scare for 4 years and each time is a fun, new experience! The Edson is a beautiful piece of history that generates a unique energy and eerie excitement in the air. You approach the massively incredible ship - ominously backlit by moonlight - and climb aboard, taking in her grandeur and rich history. Passing mounted machine guns, you inhale one last breath of the crisp, fall, night air and cross the threshold. Fog and dim lights engulf you and your anticipation rises. With heightened senses, you twist and turn continuing deeper into the belly of the beast, climbing down ladder after ladder into the unknown abyss. Ofen being unable to decipher actors from props, you're on high alert as your eyes scan who or what's lurking in the darkness. The environment creates perfect opportunities to elicit frightful screams and fun jump scares. But don't let your guard down with such distractions... you never know who's following you or what will pounce from the shadows and strike again! Each room offers a new opportunity to look inside the mad scientists lair, at the zombie infirmary, or captains quarters of death. From strobe lights, death metal, chainsaws, and crazy chaos to claustrophobic, silent darkness .. your heart and mind race. The layered scares and adrenaline rush push your senses to the limit. It's the perfect recipe for fear and fun. Kudos to the two families who continually reinvent the scares and keep us coming back for more. We'll see you again next year!

WOW! Thank you for this amazing review! We had no idea we dragged a writer down into the depths of the ship! Not only did they write an awesome review, they did it with only one hand. Monster George got a little hangry on the way down and needed a snack. It happens.... On a good note, the monsters were so moved by this review they apologized profusely, and agreed to let the reviewer live. They are now just held captive, tasked with writing new stories to read to the monsters before bedtime!

This was the first haunted ship that I have been on. It was such a unique experience! Going deeper and deeper into this giant war ship definitely added to the creepy factor, plus it is supposedly haunted for real.

A unique haunt

VERIFIED

I enjoyed my time aboard the USS Edson. This was my first time on a real warship, and the 2nd haunted house I've been to in my life. The actors did a good job and were rather friendly. More of the actors wearing scary masks/makeup (including scary cloth masks) would have been nice, though weirdly, I felt more unnerved when I was isolated in the ship rather than when an actor appeared behind me. The small flashlight provided was rather useful, though the fog effects could have been turned down a bit. I did get a bit confused in a bigger room were there was heavy fog and lights on the ceiling. At times, shadows appeared to be solid objects.

Definitely worth the price of admission, though I wish I could have been there for 2019 season. The upgrades to the admission booth and waiting pavilion are most welcome.

After the long wait in my opinion was some of the scariest shi1 I've seen ever. Though it was scary I didn't know how much it was scaring her until we came to walk up some stairs and she fell to the ground in tears saying she was having a panick attack, I held her and we weren't able to make it through the rest of the haunted ship. I laughed a bit on walking out as her goal was to make me scared, for the fact that this haunted house is that scary and that we were able to get contact to leave and not suffer through it I think is pretty great, I'd suggest this to anyone :)
