Scarefest Scream Park

http://www.scarefestscreampark.com/

This has three parts: Hayride of Doom, Terror Zone Maze and Forest of Darkness.

The Haunted Forest was exceptional. Monsters hid on the bridge, were laying down - just all over the place. Really, really solid good scares. I totally recommend this.
We could not get out of the maze. It was just wooden, but it was really, really good - especially the foggy parts. The entrance was freaking amazing. The clown with a chainsaw was like chocolate ice cream with chocolate on top - doesn't get better.
They also had a bonfire and a movie going. The luscious smell of elephant ears cooking perfumed the crisp evening air.
The hayride started out good. A stealthy monster scared the bejesus out of me in line. The headless horseman was realistic. I heard the accent of the guy leading the hayride and was immediately apprehensive. Not sure how there are monsters with English accents in Livingston county?? The hayride that left before ours had a great sounding lead monster. I was envious. Ours was stupid as I expected. There were some good scares. A couple of monsters hid under the bridge - they could have used that creepy little stream for more scares. There was an unusually high number of girl monsters which was great - finally a place with equal rights for monsters. The witch setup was really good. The giant baby doll was the scariest monster of the night. The giant monsters were stunning. The visual effect of different parts were really nice Halloween vignettes. However, some of the themes were just yucky and not scary. The army camp - yuck- at first I thought it was a campground and thought it was brilliant. Not so. The place with all the nooses - I really didn't like seeing the guy get hung. Not fun scary.-Dottie

Everything had a long wait even though there weren't that many people. It had rained a little earlier, so not big crowds. My highlight was hearing a scream from Dottie that I had never heard before. A monster came up from behind her in line and REALLY caught her off-guard. Then the monster said, "Score!" The hayride was just ok. The monsters came up to us but weren't as interactive as other hayrides we've been on. The baby doll monster was my favorite and at one point a girl monster had a live chicken she was throwing around. All of the female monsters were very scary so I give them an A+.
We had to go into the Haunted Forest and Maze with 4 other high school kids. They were hilarious, and even though the one was 6 feet + tall, he wouldn't let go of my jacket. The forest is great because we weren't restricted and could move around freely. Monsters came out of everywhere and the 6 of us screamed our heads off the whole time.
The maze became frustrating after a while because we kept going in circles. The darkness and smoke made it extra scary, but stepping in puddles in the dark was annoying. Finally, after the 6 of us sang the ABCs, we were shown the way out.
This is a good haunt because it's different than many others. I would recommend this, but wear warm AND junky shoes.-Trixie

  1. I'm glad you enjoyed our haunt. I work over at that witch scene in the hayride. During the I was getting moved around a lot but in the off chance you remember a dude busting out of a doorway with a scythe, that was me.
    Also, the clown with the chainsaw is my brother Yappo.
    You should visit Scarefest Scream Park this year. We have some new stuff.
