All Hallows Eve

This year Halloween is on a Saturday, which only happens like every 6 years (don't forget leap year, folks). So we would like to know what fun things are happening on this spookiest of nights in the Metro Detroit area. One of the bigger Haunted House attractions, Slaughtered at Sundown, is having a special where you get into the attraction cheaper that night if you're wearing a Halloween costume. What else is going on out there?

2009 Fear Finder

The 2009 Fear Finder is out!!! There are some new haunts along with some old favorites. A few of our favorites that we plan on visiting again this year include "Haunted Farm of Terror" and "Saint Lucifer's Haunted Asylum". Some new ones that we are looking forward to are "The Haunting" and "Haunted Hollows". We are SO excited for this Halloween Haunting season and can't wait to get started!! -Trixie

It's getting to be the end of September and that means the Halloween season is right around the corner!!!! Many haunted houses begin the last week of September so the Fear Finder Guide should be available this week and can picked up at Taco Bell or a Halloween store. I'm looking forward to some oldies but goodies, as well as a few new ones this year!!

Fear Farm Fields of Fright

9391 Lindsey Lane
Casco, MI 48064
http://www.cornfun.com/

Visited: October 2007

Dottie: These people are very nice. That aside, their haunted corn maze was great. Very sneaky monsters. They also have an unhaunted one that is challenging. They also had a bonfire, petting zoo, and pumpkins to pick. Its a great evening. Its suited for adults who like Halloween, but don't want to be scared to death. Good for brave 5th graders and up - but not cheesy scary. Still a good, solid scare. A good evening. A little hard to get to - you can see it from I-94 but its a little tricky on the country roads you have to follow.

Realm of Darkness

79 S. Glenwood, Pontiac

Visited: October 2006 (I think)

Dottie: This one had super fancy decor. Also, you had the challenge of trying to find the secret key. There were lots of us and none of us got the key. It wasn't so scary as much as fancy.

Resources to find Halloween Events

(as of October 2008)

Fear Finder: A great newspaper with directions and ads for haunted houses. Find it at Taco Bell.

The Haunt Guide: This color booklet has less events in it, but sometimes different ones than the Fear Finder. Find it at Halloween USA.

Free Press: Their "Play" insert at the beginning of October had some detailed descriptions of some of the haunts.

Halloween Party Ballroom Dance Club U of M

Visited: October 2007

Dottie: (Trixie didn't come.) This was a nice party. About half the crowd was dressed up. The age range was vast. The music was very good with varied dances. It was crowded but not so crowded dancing was difficult. There is always a nice atmosphere at the club and they did a nice job for Halloween. There was even a costume contest.
