Trixie: This was my favorite last year and once again it's my favorite this year. This haunted house is very scary! The psychotic patients pop out of strange places and follow you every where. A lot of maze-like corridors and dark corners for them to hide. Many times what I thought was a prop jumped to life at us just as we passed by. We screamed and laughed so hard, especially at the end when the awe-inspiring chainsaws chased us out of a narrow corridor to the parking lot. Can't wait to go again next year!!!
Dottie: OUTSTANDING. Time to take an October vacation to Flint, Michigan. Oh Yeah. Flint is the center of the haunting universe. Saint Lucifer's was my favorite last year and is again this year. The monsters were AMAZING. The very best scare was when one monster scared the crap out of me, then another one snuck up on me, and there was even a third all at once. The levels of my screams were piled on top of each other. Everywhere I looked I was scared. A+++ monsters. They also kept in character, but not overacting. Just plain creepy and scary. This was the first haunted house where I actually thought I wanted the nightmare to be over - get me out. DELICIOUSLY DEVILISH. SUCCULENTLY SCARY. FABULOUSLY FRIGHTENING. Plus the price was reasonable. Waiting in line was great because there was a real girl hanging from hooks. I just couldn't look away. Mmmmmm. I love Halloween.

Haunted Farm of Terror
http://hauntedfarmofterror.com/
What a great night! There were a few expected downsides: long lines and cold weather, but we had a fabulous time. The monsters were creepy and in your face. The haunted house lasted about 15 minutes and was full of bloody dark rooms and confusing mazes. One of Dottie's worst nightmares came at the end just before we entered the cornfield maze. The maze could be longer, but there were good monsters stalking us and even begging for our flesh the whole way through. I was disappointed there were no chainsaws in this part. Since it was so cold, we decided to come back another night for the hayride portion, and I could hear my chainsaws singing to me out in the forest. Can't wait! -Trixie
As I walked up to the house, I saw the bonfire, the giant skull with the lighted eyes and my heart leaped at the good fortune I had to enjoy yet another devilish Halloween. The bonfire had cushioned seats, I could smell the fine cuisine of tacos in a bag, and quickly went with Trixie into the skilled psychic tent for a $5 reading that was right on the money. The loveliness of the place made me wish it was a park for the Halloween lovers year round. The haunted house, however... :( The waiting was an hour and a half. They should put small bonfires near the waiting lines. It had rained the night before so the crowd was double. (Make a note of that important haunt visiting tip). We didn't get the chainsaw - I saw it there. On a shelf. :( Poor Trixie with her love of chainsaws. The scary clowns were very good. The man with the fake accent in the corn maze needs to go back to the Renaissance Festival where he belongs. An accent doesn't make you scary. The ability to sneak and jump is the real art. One guy followed us in the corn field. He looked super crazy and creeped well. A+ crazy professor stalker guy. They bought more of those stupid machines that are supposed to move and scare you and used less real monsters. Thumbs down on that. It takes two humans to be scared. Machines just don't have it. - Dottie
HAYRIDE
The Hayride started out really good. There were monsters were all over the hayride. The story they tell is alwyas good. The music was an interesting assortment that I liked and went with the story. The chainsaws were plentiful and close. The insane guy who jumped out of the cage was great. I tried to hide behind Trixie but couldnt since I was next to her. Not good planning on my part. Toward the end, the monsters were a little sparse and uninspired. We were the first hayride on a rainy night so maybe that's why. I still love that place and wish I could go there year round when I need a bonfire and a scare. - Dottie

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?

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.

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.

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.
