Great haunted house in the greater Mid Michigan area!…read more First, the location--it's located out in a rural area, a ways south of Jackson. Yes, this probably makes for a bit of a drive but adds to the overall experience. Driving through the dark woods, I could imagine we were straight out of a horror movie. Upon arrival, the sprawling property, a former pig farm, does not disappoint. The property is big.. perhaps too big considering there seemed to be a lot of unused space in the middle between the haunted houses. The haunt does a really great job with the staging/waiting area. Great detail here and I loved the way the line was situated to allow the actors to easily move about and frighten folks in line. Great attention to detail in here too. The waiting area can add so much to the overall haunt experience and I'm excited when a place uses it to full advantage. The houses themselves: DarkSyde has 4 distinct houses, but they are basically all strung together, one after another. In other words, we waited in line once and then went through each attraction in order. They did not have a hayride or zombie paintball going this year, but the 4 houses provided enough activity for the price. They had Labrynth/medieval themed maze, your now-mandatory killer klown 3D maze, an outdoor pallette maze that was actually a maze, the "rusthole" and a pirate theme maze. Of these, I enjoyed the Rusthole the most. It's an interesting theme - sort of industrial factory gone out of control. Lots of strobes, darkness and loud noises. Good stuff. Some constructive suggestions: the outdoor pallet maze was a cool idea but turned out to be too confusing. Our group got turned around and accidentally exited out of what we later guesses was a safety/chicken exit. From here we were so confused we almost missed out on the Pirate maze which comes next. The actors here could do more to help guide people through or they need to block the safety exits better. The end is also a little disappointing - there is a good final surprise in the pirate maze, but then you are left to go down a long hallway to fill out a survey. Kinda anticlimactic. Could develop the ending to be more of an intense grand finale. There is also more the haunt could do with all the space in the middle of the attraction (the big grass area with bonfire) to keep people engaged when not going in the haunted house itself. All in all a great experience in the Michigan haunted house scene!

So dope. Everything was homemade and the scare actors were very nice people (out side of being…read morescary)

I can't believe no one has written a review on this small town haunt! Maybe no one in small towns…read morearound uses Yelp? But I am here to review just the drive-thru haunt in this small town. I give it 5 stars for sure! The only issue I had was that the staff didn't mention to clients to wear a mask if they decide to roll their windows down only because I am from Los Angeles and the drive thru haunts I've been to mentions to wear a mask if you roll your windows down. Due to hard times, it is a blessing to have a drive thru haunt to get into the Halloween spirit! Anyway, I give major props to the scareactors that were involved in the drive thru haunt! I went the day before Halloween with my brother-in-law and my husband as I am visiting family in town. We wanted to do something Halloween-ish and found this gem. I am glad we went! I went to two drive through haunts in LA and one in San Diego and the San Diego one and this haunt were the best ones! Although I do give this one major thumbs up! (More than the San Diego one actually!) We were scared back to back, had chainsaw guys follow us, Chucky stalking my hubby in the passenger seat, scary clowns, you name it! The website didn't give much information and there are no You Tube videos in this so we were surprised. This small town haunt is pretty epic (the drive thru)! We didn't do the others that were available due to the pandemic but the drive thru was very entertaining. We loved it! It was cheap ($25 per car) and lasted around 10 minutes. I wouldn't mind flying to Michigan to do this around Halloween! This haunt is on top of my list next to Universal Halloween Horror Nights and Knott's Scary Farm! TIP: Get there early! The line of cars can get VERY long the later you go!

Minus one star for an actor who was a jerk. I went right as they opened this October 3rd, and…read moreoverall it was a lot of fun. The production quality was incredible and all the other actors were really good. There's a room at the beginning that's full of smoke and the visibility is nonexistent. My friend and I were pretty lost inside and after a little bit of back and forth the actor started berating us for not being able to find the exit? They eventually got out a laser pointer and showed us to the exit but they were still really unpleasant. My friend almost had to start yelling at them to make them stop repeatedly blowing an air horn at my head. I get it, they're scare actors, they aren't there to be sweet and happy, but it is a still a customer service job. I had a lot of fun overall, the other actors made up for it, but I almost gave up and told them to let me out. Being scary and being mean are different things.

Returned to the Forest after a few years, and it's still a lot of fun. We were told it is under new…read moremanagement, and the entrance setup is definitely different and more elaborate. Our group came on a Thursday night, shortly before closing time of 10 pm, and we only waited maybe 20 minutes to get in - for $20 general admission this was great. I think Fridays/Saturdays there is a significantly longer wait, so you may want to purchase a VIP ticket for an additional $10. This year, there is only the forest as an attraction - the house is closed due to building issues. The forest itself was a good time. There were new scares and new setups, but it still felt like the classic haunted forest I've visited so many times. In my last review, I mentioned obstacles being incorporated in the walk - it seems these have been removed for the most part. Not as much crouching, maneuvering, or terrain changes, which I was sad to see gone. My only complaint is the same as several years ago - there were quite a few long stretches of no scares. Some things to look at, but nothing to spook you. Again, this could be due to coming on a slower night, but I would have liked to see more actors hiding and creeping around. This walkthrough as well, we continuously caught up to the group ahead of us, so we did have most of the actor scares spoiled. Not much can be done about scared, slow walkers unfortunately. Overall, it's a fun time. Not sure I would wait more than 2 hours to get in, but on an off night - a good haunt.

This is the second year we've been here. It's a Halloween must if you like to get scared. I'd say…read morekids over 8-10 yrs old. This place is pretty Erie. It's well done. The actors don't touch you and role play pretty well. Warning it is pretty scary and your heart will pound. You also have to do a pretty substantial walk. It's prob .5 to .75mi long. Some of the trail can be difficult and some of the buildings get tight. Prepare to get scared and be uncomfortable. Pro tip let the group in front of you get 3-4min ahead of your group. Don't be in a rush to get thru it if you really want to get scared.

This was my first time visiting Eloise Asylum for their haunted attractions, and overall, I would…read moresay the experience was average. One thing that surprised me was the number of food trucks available for guests. I didn't realize they would have so many options! I liked seeing the variety of food, including elephant ears and walking tacos. My friend decided to try the walking tacos and said they were just alright. I didn't end up ordering anything myself. As for the haunted attractions, some of the actors definitely put in the effort to make the experience entertaining, while others mostly stood in one spot and spoke without doing much else. I didn't find the asylum particularly scary. The walk through inside of the basement didn't have any unexpected scary moments. It was mainly walk, look and then you exit. It smelt horrible inside of the basement of the asylum. Alot of people were helpful and kind that worked at the asylum. I liked the area to take pictures with friends and family. It was nice experiencing something new, but overall, the haunted attraction was just an average experience for me.
