Get ready to be schooled in the lesson of fear. With just two seasons under their belt, the haunt encompasses three floors of fright. There are many challenges to open in a former schoolhouse. John and Flo will shared their experiences working with a rural community and overcoming numerous hurdles. They're making plans to serve us a great lunch too.
Ohio State Reformatory, Mansfield, Oh. Includes a paranormal tour of this historic haunted building and a Haunt Tour of Blood Prison. The Ohio State Reformatory was built in 1886 and closed in 1990 with a ghostly past. Since the prison opened its gates to the public, it has been considered among ghost hunters as one of the most active haunted places in the United States. Escape from Blood Prison received great reviews and praise from industry professions this past season. You'll be able to tour both attractions with a lights on tour, but bring a flashlight, some portions may be completely dark and be prepared for anything; this place is truly unpredictable.
Rotten Manor, Holly, Mi. In only their third season, Rotten Manor has become one of the premier attractions in the Michigan haunt scene. It boasts the largest custom structures of any haunted attraction in Michigan; a highly-detailed, theatrical, and immersive experience in fear. New in 2017, they added a Midway with old school carnival games, casket ride, photo ops and concessions. In 2017, The Scare Factor review scored them a 9.55. Includes a snack.
Saint Lucifer's Scream Park, Haunted Asylum, Grand Blanc Township, Mi. The haunts are set up at Playland Fun Center, Michigan’s oldest fun center since 1969.

Thursday, May 24
Hush Haunted Attraction, Westland, MI – Start the morning with a scream, as we journey deep into the town of HUSH Falls. The town has been overtaken by a government-tested virus, and now all citizens have been infected. Wander the streets, alleyways, shops, sewers, and tunnels as you try to evade the hordes of bloodthirsty and demented creatures. You’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to a slice of New Orleans, complete with highly detailed scenes, original concepts, creative set designs, stellar acting and tons of eye candy around every corner!
Hell, Michigan, Stop for lunch, ice cream, photos and shopping at a most unique location. Lunch is on your own; they'll have several food options at reasonable prices. Everyone gets a complimentary ice cream sundae! We'll visit Screams Souvenirs from Hell & Screams Ice Cream. Their gift shop has a wide range of gifts from hell and Halloween decorations.

With only two seasons under their belt, Awaken is quickly climbing the charts with reviewers and we're looking forward to see what they have prepared for us. They're known for Hollywood quality sets, high quality actors, and an action packed, heart pumping event. Many of their authentic props come with a very eerie active past, such as old funeral homes, churches and haunted estates. A good scream is just what we need after lunch to keep us going. Here's a chance to see how a former auto dealership has been converted into an very impressive haunted attraction.
Jackson’s Underworld, Jackson, Mi. Jackson's Underworld Extreme Haunted House is 4 stories, over 115,000 sq ft. It takes an averages 45 minutes and just under one mile long of creature lurking, thrill seeking, adrenaline rushing, heart racing haunted attraction!

The buses will park in a central location and the restaurants are within a short walk. We'll have 90 minutes to eat. Tony Packo's was made world famous in the 70's by Corporal Klinger from MASH. Many celebrities have visited "Packo's" for Hungarian specialties and drinks. Check out their website menu and background on this historic restaurant, www.tonypacko.com.
Haunted Hydro, Fremont, Oh. The Haunted Hydro resides in a “REAL” decommissioned hydroelectric power plant built in 1911 on the Sandusky River. It’s believed the catastrophic floods of 1911 and 1913 (which caused many deaths and severe destruction) created a curse on the building. This facility has provided many paranormal groups vast resources for unique and successful investigations. This is the only one of its kind haunt in the United States and is the perfect setting for a haunted house business. We’ll tour all areas of the formidable concrete hydro plant except the basement. The Haunted Hydro Dark Attraction Park, still under the original ownership of Crazy Bob and Beth Turner, will be celebrating their 29th season of screams in 2018. The building and additional attractions are true to the “old school style haunting” with highly trained seasoned performers and a scream park atmosphere alongside the river. The tour will include admission to one of their three high-speed escape rooms. The Crazy Bob Shirt Shack and Gift Shop will be opened as well as the Museum/Ghouls Gallery for your enjoyment as well. This will be our last stop for the tour and we’re confident the Haunted Hydro will provide memorable entertainment for our group! Warning from Crazy Bob… “Expect the Unexpected!”

Netherworld Haunted House Moves In 2018!
2017 Halloween Season Marks the Final Year in Norcross!
ATLANTA – After one final season at the longtime Norcross Antique Center location this fall, NETHERWORLD Haunted House will relocate to a brand new facility in Stone Mountain, Georgia, the first major move for the world famous haunted house in 20 years. Conveniently located just off of US 78 in Gwinnett County, the 9.5 acre property was purchased by NETHERWORLD in early March. The new location will allow for a large expansion of the haunts, new attractions including year round Escape Games, and increased parking.
“We are pleased and excited that NETHERWORLD is relocating within the Evermore Community Improvement District of Gwinnett. With the recreational history of Stone Mountain coupled with the fact that the Tennis Center is being removed, NETHERWORLD will be the first new venue to change the face of the area. Ultimately, we are looking at creating an entertainment complex to give residents a higher quality of life within the district,” said Evermore CID Executive Director Jim Brooks.
The new location, with nearly ten acres of property and 70,000 square feet of space will also feature expanded retail areas and extensive indoor queuing. In addition to new attractions, the location will also offer attendees a myriad of other amenities, including dozens of restaurants and entertainment options close by.
“Over the last 20 years NETHERWORLD Haunted House has continued to grow and attract more and more fright fans each year,” said Billy Messina, co-owner of NETHERWORLD. “After looking at many locations around the greater Atlanta area, we found the Stone Mountain property and were blown away by how perfect it would be for our operation. Not only is there room to expand our Haunted Attractions, but we’ll also be able to explore new types of themed experiences which we simply don’t have room for at our current location.”
The first to be unveiled will be “Escape the NETHERWORLD” in late summer of 2017, a thrilling series of challenge games that will test the problem solving skills of attendees. Though Escape Games in general are not particularly scary ventures, if you’d like a bit of a scream, NETHERWORLD will offer guests a choice between a “scary” and “not scary” version of their games. Whichever version patron’s experience, they will be sure to see the same high level of detail, theming and fun that NETHERWORLD Haunted House is so well known for. “We’re excited to be opening the Escape Games this summer in Stone Mountain, but we’re equally focused on and excited about NETHERWORLD opening this September for one last season in the place we’ve called “home” for two decades. We’re working really hard to make this final season in Norcross our most epic to date.” Messina further stated.
In its final year at 6624 Dawson Blvd., NETHERWORLD Haunted House is ready to terrify with two new attractions in 2017: PRIMAL SCREAM and Dr. GRENDEL’S FUNHOUSE of HORROR in 3D! The season launches the weekend of Friday, September 22 – Saturday, September 23 and opens seven days a week starting Friday, September 29 through Halloween. The final nights to experience NETHERWORLD at the Norcross location will be Friday, November 3 – Sunday, November 5.
“NETHERWORLD is a world-class haunted attraction. They are powerful marketers who have had an incredible economic impact in Gwinnett.” said Nick Masino, Chief Economic Development Officer at Partnership Gwinnett. “After 20 years, their name and Gwinnett County have become synonymous and we knew it was important to keep them here. We are thrilled that this has been accomplished.”

Midnight Syndicate Returns To Cedar Point!
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 15, 2017 – Halloween and horror music legends Midnight Syndicate will bring their critically-acclaimed concert experience, Midnight Syndicate Live!, back to the world famous amusement park, Cedar Point this fall. The horror-themed multimedia concerts blending live music, theatre, and film will run Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 15 through October 29 in the Jack Aldrich Theater at Cedar Point's 21st annual HalloWeekends event.
“We’ve developed a new, even better show that we can’t wait to unleash on audiences,” said Midnight Syndicate’s Edward Douglas. “Our new venue, the Jack Aldrich Theater, is a perfect fit for what we want to do. It will allow us to create an intimate and thrilling experience that guests won’t soon forget.”
“Working with Cedar Point in 2014 was a great experience across the board, so to be able to team up with them again, especially as a part of Midnight Syndicate’s 20th anniversary celebration, is perfect,” added Gavin Goszka.
“We’re excited that Midnight Syndicate is bringing their live and immersive stage show back to Cedar Point this fall,” said Charles Bradshaw, V.P. of Live Entertainment at Cedar Point. “Fans of their mesmerizing music loved their previous run at HalloWeekends – and they’re going to love this latest production.”
For the new show, Midnight Syndicate will once again be calling upon special effects legend Robert Kurtzman (From Dusk Till Dawn, KNB EFX) and the Robert Kurtzman's Creature Corps, David Henson Greathouse (Faceoff, MUSHROOMHEAD OFFICIAL), Beki Ingram (Faceoff), director Gary Jones (Army of Darkness, Axe Giant), 529 Films, EFX TEK, artist Mark Rakocy, and Screamline Studios.
