CELLBLOCK 13

Flint, Michigan

www.WickedHill.com

This is my first year attending the Cellblock 13 haunted house, and I thought it was an awesome haunt to go too. It was a great old School style type of a haunt which I love. But they also mixed some new school style type of props in there as well. Now, I love haunted houses with a theme in it, and let me tell you this haunt had an awesome theme. Cellblock 13's theme is a haunted prison were the inmates are taking over. This haunt was crazy as people were yelling all over the place with people chasing you through out the haunt. Now, it was also pretty gory as well with some scenes being really gory. Which makes it all so much better. Now there was some problems. Things were a little crazy as it seemed they had people in there not knowing what they're doing. But part of the reason is that it was the grand opening weekend so that explains a lot of it. This haunt is pretty scary, and there were a lot of scary scenes in it. I had a great time a CellBlock 13 and hope to come back next year!

ST. LUCIFER'S HAUNTED ASYLUM

Flint, Michigan

www.FearFest.net

Last time I went to Saint Lucifer's I thought it was a good haunt. Well, let me tell you, it is a lot better than the last time I went to it. It was an awesome haunted house. Now, this haunt theme is a haunted asylum which is one of my favorite type of haunted house themes. It was just like you walked into a mental home too. All of their scenes were CRAZY, as they had people chasing you, yelling at you, and making some people in my group I went with cry! Now, I think it needed some more gory scenes in it. It seemed like it was lacking some gore, which is ok, but I think for that type of haunt it needs some gore in it. But other than that it was awesome. They also had some great props in it. You can tell they went all out to scare the you know what out of people with their props and their actors. I think Saint Lucifer's Haunted Asylum is worth the drive from anywhere!

THE EXTREME SCREAM

Taylor, Michigan

Now we have been going to The Extreme Scream for years now and let me tell you, this year was the best yet. It was a lot better then in past years. Extreme Scream is a 100% old school haunted house. There was no Hollywood style props like you see in a lot of haunts. I am not saying there wasn't any good props, because there were a lot of cool looking props. But just not Hollywood style. But that doesn't matter, it was still an awesome haunt. They had it all; optical illusions, gory scenes, tunnels, and good actors. They had some awesome optical illusions like a wall would move and then the rest of the room on the other side of the door would change completely which I have never really seen before. They also had parts where you have to crawl around in a narrow tunnel. The scenes in Extreme Scream were really good as well. Now, one thing I loved about it is that it was extremely dark, and you couldn't see anything through out the whole haunt until you in the scene. Now, I think the timing was off a little bit when they were trying to scare people. It seemed like they would pop out after you already walked past them. But that was the only problem I noticed. It was also pretty cheap $10 for 20 minutes of good scares and fun. That is a hell of a deal and most of it goes to Boy Scouts. So if you are looking for a place to get scared where they do a good job as well, then I think the Extreme Scream is the place to go!

THE HAUNTING

Adrian, Michigan

www.MyHaunting.com

There are 3 attractions at The Haunting, and here are reviews for all of them.

Lost was new for this year, and I think it is a great addition to The Haunting. It takes place in the parking lot of the attraction. Now it's not that scary. I mean, I don't think there were any parts that made me jump. But there is some really gory scenes and awesome props. That is the part I liked about it. But it's kind of short for a haunted house. But it is an outside event, and inside event so if you add them together they are pretty long. But I think it should be a little more scarier, but other then that it was a pretty good haunt.

Our rating:

3 Dementia is one of the best parts about The Haunting. It is a 3-D haunt, and it's the largest 3-D haunt around. Now I am really not a big fan of 3-D haunts, but I thought this was one was the best. They didn't over do it with the 3-D, and they had some good old actors scaring you in it. They had some great scenes in it as well. It had "in your face" kind of scares. It was also pretty gory as they had a lot of great props that were very gory looking. Now the scares were the best of the season so far. It had a lot of people in your face, and with the 3-D it made it all so much better. If your visiting The Haunting, make sure you go to 3 Dementia!

Our rating:

Manic Maze was awesome! That's pretty much the only word that can describe it. It is the longest haunt that there is at The Haunting. Now, if you do not like getting lost for a long time then I would not go to Manic Maze. It's 20,000 square feet of walls, props, and good scares. I would have to say I had a hard time getting through it. I got lost a couple of times. Now the scares were great as they had it all with the scares. Another thing I liked about it, was that it was an old school type of haunt. They had no new school stuff in it, just good scares and props. I loved everything about it and I think it is well worth it to go through it If you DARE!!

DEADLY INTENTIONS

Warren, Michigan

www.DeadlyIntentionsHaunt.com

Deadly Intentions is by far one of the best haunts that I went to so far this haunt season. I mean, I say that every time I go there, but I swear to you that it gets better every year we go to Deadly Intentions. Now this years theme was pretty unique as it is City of The Living Dead. It was an awesome theme. Pretty much it was 20 minutes of good props and scenes and I forgot... GREAT SCARES!! The scares in Deadly Intentions get better as the years go by, and this year was probably the best on the scare level. I mean there was in your face action the whole entire time. Deadly Intentions has always been an "in your face" haunt, but I think this year was the most "in your face" you can get with the price of an admission ticket. I also think it is one of the most goriest haunted houses you will ever find, with gore that can make your stomach twist. Another thing I love about Deadly Intentions is it is always an experience. Either you are trying to escape a prsion (2008 theme) or trying to escape fast zombies trough a maze of hell. There is no part of this haunt that you can not love. Every part either scares the you no what out of you, or just make you wonder was is going trough the creators head of this place. There must be something wrong with them! Deadly Intentions is a must go for this years Haunt Season!!!

URBAN LEGENDS

Detroit, Michigan

www.666HauntedHouse.com

Now Urban Legends has 6 haunts in one location. But we are reviewing all of them accept Movie Monsters and Mad Man. The reason why we didn't review it is that is was kinda too short to review. But it was good haunt. So here we go.....

Hell's Labyrinth was pure awesome. I loved everything about this haunted house. It is pure insanity through out the whole haunt as you got people screaming in your face and pure terror. Another part I loved about it is that you can choose your own path of fear. Each part has it's own different and more intense scares. I love haunts like that were you have a mission while you are in it and Hell's Labyrinth's mission is making out of it alive. We loved everything about this haunt and hope to come back.

Our rating:

Zombie Contamination is a haunt that when I went through it I didn't no how good it was going to be, but it was GREAT. This haunt has a mission where zombies take over Detroit, and you have to make it through. Now, one of the things I liked about it was all the gore that was in it. Pretty much the whole haunt was filled with gore and great scenes. It was kind of of lacking on the scares a little bit. I wasn't as scared as I had been through the last haunt. But I still enjoyed everything about the whole entire thing. I thought it had a great theme which is another plus so all in all it was very good haunt

Our rating:

Clown Freak Show was the goriest, and one of the most scariest haunts that is in Urban Legends. Clown Freak Show is a great example of pure terror and gore. I loved the whole entire thing as it was non stop scares. Actors were popping out of every where through the whole thing. If you have a fear of clowns I would recommend not to go through the house because the entire haunt was filled with awesome looking clowns looking to scare the shit out of you!!!

Our rating:

Dr.Phobia's is my all time favorite haunt in Urban legends. It had great scares, great props, great scenes, and great gore. One of the things that was good in this haunt was it was such an old school style haunt. 100% old school haunt, which is has great future in this haunt. Now the scares were excellent as there were some parts that I jumped at. Also the gore was very good in it. It also had very small rooms where you have to make your way through it. So if you don't like being caught up in small areas then this haunt is not recommended. But I enjoyed and loved this haunt.

Our rating:

Bloody Mary's Butcher Shop is the haunt is for you if you like gore and scares . It is by far one of the goriest haunts around Michigan. It had some great scares and great scenes in it. Now it was kind of short, but it was a great time and we loved it.

THE LAB

Gosse Ile, Michigan

www.TheLabHaunt.com

Last haunt season we went to the Lab, and we had a awesome time, as it is one of my favorite haunts of the year, and let me tell you that this year was no different. Actually, I think this year was better than last year. This year they had some awesome scenes, and great props, and I forgot...GREAT SCARES. This haunt is by the far on the list of the most scariest, and coolest haunts that is in Michigan. I love everything about this haunt. I especially love the theme. It's a theme that you would never see in a haunt. It is also pretty big haunt as well. It is one of the biggest in the area! The Lab is the kind of haunt that you will never forget. I have never been to a haunt that is such as unique as the Lab, and that's a good thing. Now the Lab is not the most goriest haunt that is out there, but it has some scenes that are pretty gory. It's also a pretty good maze. I got lost a couple of times because it is so dark. The props in this haunt are insane. This haunt has one of the best props in the Detroit area. At the Lab, I can guarantee you that you're going to get scared. But the real question is Can You Over Ride The Lock Down?

WILD WOODS OF TERROR

Saginaw, Michigan

www.WWOT.2FEAR.com

This years Wild Woods of Terror was awesome. This year was one of their best years I have ever seen. The trail was a lot longer than any other year, which means one thing...more scares! Wild Woods had some of the best scares I have seen from any haunted forest in a long time. Now there are some parts of the trail where there is nothing happening, but then Boom you get hit with a scare. This haunt had a lot of people chasing you with chainsaws! Now there are some awesome themes in this place. The scenes were very creative with a lot of the scenes I have never seen before. Now unlike some haunted forest there was no cheesy stuff in this woods. Everything in this place is top notch including props and all. This by far one of the best haunted woods I have ever been to in my life. So if you are in the Saginaw area this weekend make sure you stop at Wild Woods of Terror as it's well worth the drive from anywhere.

THE REALM OF DARKNESS

Pontiac, Michigan

www.TheRealmOfDarkness.com

This was my first time attending the Realm of Darkness, and let me tell you that this haunt was amazing. By far one of the scariest haunts in Michigan. If you like "in your face" scaring action then this is the place for you. Realm of Darkness will scare you no matter who you are! The actors had some of the best costumes I have ever seen. This haunt was an old school style type of haunt mixed with some new school props. I liked the way they mixed old school and new school together. This haunt was really dark, and when I say it wass dark, it was dark. I couldn't even find my way through without hitting a wall. One of the things I loved about this haunt is how gory it is. Almost every scene had some great gore and guts. Now there was one thing I didn't like about, and that is that it seemed that the actors jumped out a little too early. Sometimes you would walk right pass them, and then they would jump out. But when they jump out right man they would be right in your face which makes it all so much more terrifying. The Realm of Darkness is also a very large haunt. You get what you pay for when you go to this haunt. If you like to get the you know what scared out of you, the Realm of Darkness is the one place for you. If you can make it through. So make sure you check this great haunt out!
