Terror on 27 tells the story of road workers and builders who had once camped out on the stretch of road. After mysteriously perishing, the road workers return every October to wander the site again. Terror on 27 is so popular that waits can last up to 2 hours. If you’re not interested in waiting, you can purchase a Fast Pass ticket for all three attractions.
Niles Scream Park

Niles Scream Park is no ordinary haunted attraction. The park is much like a haunted nighttime carnival, featuring a Midway lurking with monsters and ghosts, concessions, vendors, photo booths, and more. With 44 acres of land to plot its scare tactics, Niles Scream Park features six haunted attractions which the park rebuilds each year from scratch to feature new themes and houses. In 2021, Niles Scream Park was voted Top Haunt by Coaster Nation.
This season you can expect all-new haunted attractions and some of the same ones from previous years. Thrill-seekers will love the Field of Screams, a haunted maze that the park has expanded to feature two more scare zones. Yes, ghosts and zombies will jump out at you… and follow you. In addition to the haunted maze, the park also features a haunted hayride, a haunted cabin, and many more haunted houses to explore.

Erebus Haunted Attraction in Pontiac, MI
This 4-story haunted house is a top-thrill haunt and has been featured on the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel, and more. This will be Erebus’ 17th season. It features five haunted houses in one building with narrow hallways, mazes, moving walls, and dark corners—a haunt that lasts nearly 35 to 45 minutes (depending on how fast you run). According to Ed Terebus, co-owner of the attraction, nearly 500 people each year chicken out and don’t finish the attraction.
While it’s not recommended for individuals under 13-years-old, Erebus Haunted Attraction does welcome all ages to enter at their own risk.
