I find it interesting, and also more than a tad surreal, to revisit a haunt after a number of years. I had last braved the one-time pig farm in Jonesville, Michigan now known, of course, as Darksyde Acres six years ago. That particular trip back in 2014 had capped a four-year run that began with a deliciously, salacious, out-of-body experience on a Friday night in October 2011.
My cohorts and I forged a lot of memories at Darksyde Acres over the years; it was interesting to experience it once more after such a lengthy drought and with an entirely new team by my side. Details from that latest adventure will appear here on Horrorlust this Saturday. Until then, enjoy a stroll down memory lane with past reviews from Darksyde Acres.
