A Glut of Haunts Dot October Waltz
This schedule is not finalized by any means, think of it more as a shifting blueprint of the season. The status of a few prominent haunts remain unknown, most namely Demonic Demons in Detroit and Extreme Scream which ran last year in Waterford. Situations such as this can always alter our haunt destinations as can a slew of other obstacles,…
Realm of Haunted Minds and Funeral Home a Fitting Pair for Windswept Outing
The night was chilly, a steady rain fell, the wind reminded us that we were not alone. Our first stop brought us to Realm of Haunted Minds at the Huron Turkey Farm in Romulus. The building adjacent the parking lot is decorated with a variety of illuminated outlines — ghosts, bats, and an assortment of Halloween fixtures welcome you to…
Altered Realities, Altered Plans
I talked to my contact at the Woods of Darkness just a short while ago and the weather conditions have once again forced them to close up shop for the night.

Will we delight in the…

The kiddies have gone back to school, the air has adopted a crisper quality, and the leaves will soon burst into full radiance for this wonderful season of magic, fright, and laughter. Here I ponder the memories we’ve made and yearn for those yet to pass as…
The next Evolution of Horror and Haunt News
