TOP AWARDS FOR 2007
BEST ACTORS - THE HAUNT, WALKER Serious attention to acting skills helped them win this award. They had many drama and improv classes, but what set them over the top was a small select group of actors specially trained for a certain strange gag that is highly effective!
BEST AMBIENCE (man made) - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC The new cave sequence cinched it for this haunt, although it probably would've won even without it!
BEST AMBIENCE (naturally occuring) - 2 way tie between SALEM'S HAUNTED BARN & HORSE DRAWN HAYRIDES in CAPAC and HAUNTED GHOST TOWN & HAYRIDE in BRIGHTON. Ambience was oozing off the charts at both these haunts! And the absence of engine noise at SALEM'S is something we've never experienced before at a hayride, awesome!
BEST ASSAULT ON THE SENSES - TERRORTOWN, MAUMEE OHIO This haunt literally burys you alive, and that's JUST THE START of the amazing assault on the senses this haunt delivered, including smell!
BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK - HOUSE OF FEAR, HAZEL PARK Hands down winner, only $5! Amazing creativity at this all volunteer effort.
BEST CHOREOGRAPHY / DANCING - THE HAUNT, WALKER A striking original dance routine earned this award. It's performed on a stage in the waiting area by 2 guys and 3 girls who emerge from a graveyard setting.
BEST DECOR / DETAIL - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC Is this a museum or a haunted attraction?!
There were so many excellent hayrides of different types in 2007 which made it impossible to name one as being the best, so we've categorized the awards instead.
BEST HAYRIDE (family oriented) - 5 way tie between BLAKE'S SPOOKY NIGHTTIME HAYRIDES AND 3-LEVEL HAUNTED BARN, ARMADA, HAUNTED HILL ACRES, BELLEVILLE, THE PUMPKIN FACTORY HAYRIDE, BELLEVILLE, SPOOKTACULAR HAUNTED HAYRIDES, BELLEVILLE and TERRORZONE, TAYLOR. All have great hayrides appropriate for the whole family.
BEST HAYRIDE (high intensity) HAUNTED FARM OF TERROR, LENOX TWP. Hands down winner, an absolute MUST SEE if you're not a wimp! Giant props and double sided gags, and multiple sound systems throughout fill the area with sonic madness deluxe.
BEST HAYRIDE (narration) - BLAKE'S SPOOKY NIGHTTIME HAYRIDES AND 3-LEVEL HAUNTED BARN, ARMADA A convincing delivery of a clever story earned this award.
BEST HAYRIDE (original gags) - BLOOD BATH & BEYOND, FOWLERVILLE This haunt invents and engineers original gags like nobody else around! One of our favorites involves a ghoul who flys, and there's other superior aerial antics too.
BEST ILLUSIONS - SLAUGHTER HOUSE, FOWLERVILLE When magicians get involved great things can happen!
BEST INTERACTION - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC You actually decide your fate based on the decisions you will make here.
BEST LIGHTING - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC Sometimes subtle, sometimes blazing, but always just right.
BEST MAGIC - THE HAUNTING, ADRIAN A world class magic show earned this award. The creator of this haunt is a renowned magician who was once chosen to be a performer at a magician's conference in New York City. His routine is as slick as any you'll ever see. The standing room crowd was totally blown away!
BEST NEW FIND - THE HOMER MILL HAUNTED HOUSE, HOMER We missed their debut last year, this is an amazing young haunt! Worth the drive from Detoit for sure. There's a bar we wish we'd had time to hang out at too.
BEST ORIGINAL GAG - SLAUGHTER HOUSE, FOWLWERVILLE The easy chair room earned this award. This amazing gag was conceived and engineered in house, most haunts buy major gags from haunt suppliers. They worked hard to have it ready for opening night, and it worked perfectly. A stroke of creative genius!
BEST SOUND - 3 way tie between HOUSE OF FEAR, HAZEL PARK, THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC and THE SCREAM MACHINE, TAYLOR. HOUSE OF FEAR had great sound starting outside the building during the walk leading to the ticket booth. Inside the content was awesome, our big time favorite was the room with the old wooden radio playing some highly unusual old music. THE REALM OF DARKNESS continued its' tradition of great sound and articulation from the actors. THE SCREAM MACHINE had the best original soundtrack created by the band associated with this haunt GATHERING OF DARKNESS. In addition their sound system was top notch with awesome depth and quality. It takes lots of subwoofers and
BEST 3-D - 2 way tie between THE HAUNTING, ADRIAN and THE SCREAM MACHINE, TAYLOR
ZIOPTIS 2006 PEOPLES CHOICE HAUNT AWARDS
1ST PLACE, BEST HAUNT OF THE YEAR:
THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC
RUNNER-UP:
CASTLE OF THE DEAD, MT. CLEMENS
UNSUNG HERO AWARD:
TERRORFIED FOREST & MANOR, PINCKNEY
This year we decided to let the public pick their favorite haunt to be honored with the ZIOPTIS HAUNT OF THE YEAR AWARD. After all, this is a free public service so we think you should have a say in what goes on here too!
Here are some verbatim comments from votes received for THE REALM OF DARKNESS:
"My favortite haunt of 2006 was The Realm Of Darkness. This was a house with good effects and an awesome theme. The Choose Your Own Adventure twist was well executed and added to the enjoyment"
..."very realistic and scary as all hell!"...
"I recently went to the Realm of Darkness and this is my say in why it should be crowned the best haunted house again in Michigan. First of all I would like to say that most haunted houses are straight forward with no story line. The house should be one with a story and the participants should be the major role in the story. The Realm of Darkness had an amazing story line with the participants scrambling to find 3 tokens to defeat the evil wizard. You must partake in events to win tokens, all of them being lucky choices such as choosing a certain book, bone or goblet. Then you come up to a board of 8 buttons and depending on how many tokens you possess you get to press that many buttons. Picking the right ones gets you to the lair of the wizard. I unfortunately didn't pick the right buttons and as punishment was sent running away from a chainsaw wielding maniac! But I didn't care if I lost and didn't get double my money back which is a great way to lure more customers because I had the biggest scare of my entire life! Me and my friends loved it and I had never had so much fun and got scared at the same time. That is why my vote goes to downtown Pontiacs' Realm of Darkness"
"I LOVE the Realm of Darkness in Pontiac. The actors are extraordinary. It was more than just a walk through haunted house, it was an adventure. The Realm gets my vote as well as the other 6 that went with me. Their Most Devoted Fan, K.G." (note: this entry awarded only one vote)
"Thought I'd put my vote in for the peoples choice awards. Although I've been to some fun, new haunts this season, I think Realm of Darkness still has my vote for #1. The overall experience is great. They have a theme that is followed through beginning to end; the actors are very good and the decor is outstanding. Thanks for the opportunity to vote for my favorite, looking forward to the results."
"hay guys I just wanted to let you know that the realm of darkness made me almost pee my pants dude. it was sweet. tell them great job."
"The Realm blew me away - it was phenomenal!"
"...just awesome, really scary..."
"I couldn't believe how realistic it is!"
"Once again, Nicky The P gives the nod to the Realm of Darkness..."
YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY WE GAVE AN AWARD TO A HAUNT WE DIDN'T EVEN GO TO IN 2006, WHICH IS THE "UNSUNG HERO AWARD."
This award is the result of only one persons entry, but check this out - he's a hard core haunt fan that WENT TO 18 HAUNTS in 2006! Most haunt fans are lucky to get to 10 per season we've found thru the years, so this guy is special. In talking with him (for almost an hour!) we got to understand what a true connoisseur he is. Here is his e-mailed vote:
"Overall, the best experience was The Terrorfied Forest and Manor. I expected the walk to be fun, but it just kept going and going. I couldn't believe how long it was and detail oriented the whole time. When you first drive up, it seems like maybe it wasn't worth the trip and it'll be quick because it's out in the middle of nowhere. But it ended up being my favorite of every place I went this year. I was impressed that they had so many outbuildings in the forest to go through and walk by. It really was an amazing haunt. The black holes were just as fantastic as you described. I loved the red lights taking you through the forest. I especially give credit to them for allowing you some time between scares to just walk at your own pace and 'come up' to the scare points as if you were out in the forest experiencing them yourself. In my opinion, that added to the effect. I also tip my hat for allowing two person groupings to go through and enjoy it themselves and not making people group up in packs to optimize the amount of people you can get through the haunt in a night. Every person deserves to be 'in front' while going through a haunt."
TOP AWARDS FOR 2005
The haunt winning the most categories is the OVERALL BEST HAUNT.
BEST ACTORS - THE HAUNTING, ADRIAN Local college drama students are the perfect natural resource!
BEST AMBIENCE (man made) - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC The variety and quality of different feelings invoked exceeded all others in this category.
BEST AMBIENCE (naturally occuring) - NAUTICAL NIGHTMARE, RIVER ROUGE It's on an old Bob-Lo Boat! Need we say more?!
BIGGEST - EREBUS, PONTIAC Now certified as the Worlds Largest Walk Through Haunted House by the Guiness Book of World Records!
BEST DECOR / DETAIL - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC Is this a museum or a haunted attraction?!
BEST FAMILY ORIENTED - 3 way tie between HAUNTED HILL ACRES, BELLEVILLE, THE FESTIVAL OF THE DEAD & HAYRIDE, BELLEVILLE and BLAKE'S SPOOKY NIGHTTIME HAYRIDES AND 3-LEVEL HAUNTED BARN, ARMADA All have great hayrides and lots more appropriate for the whole family.
BEST FOREST WALK - TERRORFIED FOREST AND MANOR, PINCKNEY This forest has it all! Unbelievable variety of scenes thru a 1/2 mile journey.
BEST HAYRIDE - BLAKE'S NIGHTTIME SPOOKY HAYRIDES, ARMADA Highly creative with superior narration from tour guide.
BEST ILLUSIONS - SLAUGHTER HOUSE, FOWLERVILLE When magicians get involved great things can happen!
BEST INTENSE SCARE - EREBUS, PONTIAC The biggest Tesla coil we've ever seen is here! And have you ever literally been buried alive?
BEST INTERACTION - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC You actually decide your fate based on the decisions you will make here.
BEST LIGHTING - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC Sometimes subtle, sometimes blazing, but always just right.
BEST MAKEUP - FORTRESS OF FEAR, WYANDOTTE Masks can be cool, but nothing compares to really great makeup / gory features molded onto the faces!
BEST MODULAR SPACE USE - CASTLE OF THE DEAD, MOUNT CLEMENS If all you saw was the entrace facade (one the best ever!) and then went all the way thru this LONG haunt, you'd have no idea you had just walked thru a long series of semi-tractor trailers! Incredible! (By the way, this is the former "HAUNTED GALLERY" which changed hands awhile ago.)
MOST ACTION PER ROOM - GHOSTLY MANOR, SANDUSKY, OHIO Hands down winner in this category! NOBODY ELSE had as many surprises happening all at once in room after room.
BEST NEW FIND - GHOSTLY MANOR, SANDUSKY, OHIO We saw a brochure for this last year at THE HAUNTING in ADRIAN last year and were flabbergasted by what we found there! WE REALLY LIKE AND ADMIRE HAUNTS THAT PROMOTE EACH OTHER! We know that it's a competitive business with a lot on the line. But we have found that friendly competition raises the overall quality of the haunt scene and ends up benefitting everyone involved!
BEST SOUND - THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC Each rooms sound perfectly reflected its' theme, as in many haunts. The deciding factor here was the ACTORS, all clearly audible with good enunciation and accents. The actors were never drowned out by excessive volume of sound systems, which we have seen many times at other haunts obscuring their story lines.
BEST SPOOKY FEEL - THE EXTREME SCREAM, TAYLOR This one spooked us more than any other this year with its' subtle approach and superior soundtrack.
BEST 3-D - THE SCREAM MACHINE, TAYLOR Just slip these glasses on and experience new dimensions of eye candy! Watch your step, the floor is floating!

TOP AWARDS – 5 STARS:
THE HAUNT, WALKER, MICHIGAN
Several Detroit area haunt operators told us this is the coolest haunt in Michigan, and I must say we agree! The entrance façade is an EXACT REPLICA of a real haunted house in Grand Rapids that scared the show producer and his friends when they were kids. This is in a large warehouse – lots of chamo-netting gives a rustic feel. 3 large mausoleums in the indoor waiting area suddenly open up and 3 groups of dancers perform a clever dance routine with instrumental music. Tons of awesome gags and illusions and the biggest 3-D display by Stu Smith we've ever seen! 2001 was their first year – over 30,700 attended!! We can't wait to see what they do in 2003!
THE HAUNTED THEATRE HOUSE, DETROIT MICHIGAN
Bigger and better than 2001 (also 5 stars!), these performers have a special feel not duplicated by ANY other haunt we've seen! Astonishing ambiance in a big city setting. Superior sound and lighting throughout, and the monster interaction level is off the scale!! Incredible physical thrill factor WHILE MAINTAINING SAFETY – BRAVO! Fantastic dance routine performed to clever original music by dancers with fluorescent skeleton costumes in makeshift auditorium within building.
NOT OPEN IN 2003 DESPITE ORIGINAL PLANS TO OPEN ON OCTOBER 25 – THEY "WILL BE BACK IN 2004." WE SINCERELY HOPE SO – THIS WAS A TRULY SPECIAL EFFORT!!!
NOT OPERATING A PUBLIC HAUNT IN 2005 or 2006.
THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC, MICHIGAN
They started preparations for this on March 5th - AND IT SHOWS! Once again, amazing attention to detail. 3-D displays are gone - in their place are some REALLY WILD INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES. Choose wisely enough, and you may get to meet THE WIZARD, possibly even winning A THOUSAND BUCKS, supplied by a radio station for legal reasons. By the way, any stories you may hear of haunted houses themselves giving out big cash prizes are JUST Urban Legends! They CAN NOT legally do it, that's why this house got a radio station to supply the prizes - PRETTY CLEVER I'D SAY! Last years review mentioned they had the most ornate decor we've seen since the legendary MAXWORLD in the 80's, and that is still true. These operators had never seen or even heard of MAXWORLD, and yet, amazingly enough, they have now taken on some of the cool interactive elements that defined them! SUPERIOR INTERACTION, GREAT LIGHTING, GREAT SOUND, AWESOME PRESENTATION... THE CLASSIEST SHOW IN TOWN WE'VE SEEN YET!!! COOL TV ADS TOO.
NAUTICAL NIGHTMARE, OHIO
It looks old. It feels old. It smells old. That's because IT IS OLD! If you remember going to Bob-Lo Island Amusement Park many moons ago, you undoubtedly remember the Bob-Lo boats. Well, this haunt has been constructed ON one of the original Bob-Lo boats, the Saint Claire! What a treat to be able to "ride" her again in such a unique fashion! The crews quarters are preserved just as they were, but many other things have gone strangely awry – the dining room is full but there IS something distinctly odd about the patrons and the band that is playing too! Excellent interaction, lighting and sound, and we especially liked the floating 3-D illusion with the young girl that morphs into a krazy clown. You CAN NOT buy, rent or manufacture ambiance like this haunt is steeping in! TOO COOL!!!
3-WAY TIE FOR 2nd HIGHEST RATED EFFORTS AT 4 3/4 STARS:
BLAKE'S NIGHTTIME SPOOKY HAYRIDES & 3 LEVEL HAUNTED BARN, ARMADA, MICHIGAN
Another strong performance from a perennial favorite "in the field" - get it?
Excellent hayride narration (live, not recorded). We especially liked the high intensity car fire and the running semi-truck honking and flashing lights at you. Cute, friendly witches give you donuts and cider second to none!
Good tri-level barn with excellent black hole at end. BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY TO THIS ONE, AND BUY SOME VANILLA PEANUT-CRUNCH FUDGE (or 15 other flavors) AND NUT COVERED CARMEL APPLES FROM THEIR STORE AFTERWARDS - YUM!!!
THE HAUNTING, ADRIAN, MICHIGAN
ANOTHER FANTASTIC SHOW FROM ONE OF THE LEADERS! Totally different themes this time - your first challenge is to discover which mannequin is real, then you are thrust into a WILD 3-D EXPERIENCE by famed 3-D designer Stu Smith. A brilliant cross between sci-fi and classic psychedelia! Local drama students "KICK IT UP A NOTCH" in the acting department - they've always been way above average! Completely different magic show while you wait in line this time featuring a victim from the audience, and we liked the helicopter crash. Good monster interaction and placement - good surprise factor.
PSYCHO ASYLUM, MONROE, MICHIGAN
From the fine folks who brought you many great performances long ago in Dundee, and then at the Creature Castle in Monroe comes ANOTHER GREAT SHOW FROM START TO FINISH! Fantastic WHIZ-BANG START PUMPS YOU UP BIG TIME FOR AN INTENSE JOURNEY!
Excellent, tight blind passageways, padded with thick piled carpet for ultimate finger comfort! We especially liked the compressed air blasts, the new Elevator Room and the guy on the sound system taunting you with custom patter. He must be just making it up as he goes along! And how DOES he do that with his voice?
CREEPIEST HAUNT OF THE YEAR 2002 AWARD:
ISLE OF TERROR, MONROE, MICHIGAN at Croakie's Party Island
Excellent 20-25 minute walk outdoors with a hay bale maze at the end. Big bonfire after exit and heated tent waiting area with DJ music. We especially liked the first thingy you must walk on, the people going crazy in the red camping tent off to your right and the tree that breaks and almost hits you! Excellent recorded sound effects and THE WILDEST, JAW-DROPPING STUNT WE'VE SEEN AT ANY HAUNTED HOUSE! We're not about to give it away just in case they come back, but unfortunately it looks like they are not open in 2003.

BEST AMBIANCE AWARD 2002 – MAN MADE:
THE HAUNTED THEATRE HOUSE, DETROIT, MICHIGAN
2001 IN REVIEW
TOP AWARDS - 5 STARS:
The CREEPIEST HAUNT OF THE YEAR 2001 AWARD goes to TRUMBULLPLEX in Detroit!!! This was a one night only presentation that totally blew us away - positively the MOST INTENSE haunted house in 2001! They were SO into it...they WERE NOT acting! Or, maybe they were, when they measured you for a body bag at the start and give it to you to carry. Or maybe when they served a baby on a platter for dinner. Or maybe when they brewed bat stew on a gas stove and the guy in the kitchen gets bludgeoned with a metal pipe. That guy hanging from the ceiling by a meathook is in A LOT OF PAIN! Should we help him out? Oh, wait...in this other room...what IS that hanging from the ceiling? No...NO WAY!!! Some say this building TRULY IS HAUNTED...it used to be a funeral home! We can only hope they do it again in 2002...we'll keep you posted.
NOT OPERATING IN 2002
THE OTHER 5 STAR HOUSES FOR 2001 ARE:
THE REALM OF DARKNESS, PONTIAC, MICHIGAN
The most ornate house yet - astonishing attention to detail. Imagine strolling thru the antebellum era, before the Civil War and the Industrial Revolution and then landing in a space-age 3-D fantasy deluxe! INCREDIBLE!!
THE HAUNTING, ADRIAN, MICHIGAN
ANOTHER FANTASTIC SHOW FROM ONE OF THE LEADERS!

Good monster interaction and placement - good surprise factor.
THE HAUNTED THEATRE HOUSE, DETROIT, MICHIGAN
This was a first time effort not in the Fear Finder. It was a tad on the short side, but what they had was A-PLUS! Fantastic interaction, and we especially liked the entrance design, the moving severed hand and the live mice! OPEN AGAIN IN 2002
3-WAY TIE FOR 2nd HIGHEST RATED EFFORTS AT 4 3/4 STARS:
PSYCHO ASYLUM, MONROE, MICHIGAN
We loved their "mind spinner" and innovative sound system usage. These guys caught our attention long ago in Dundee, and then again in 2000 with their CREATURE CASTLE. They are proving to be masters of the craft!
HAUNTFEST, CLARKSTON, MICHIGAN
This also earned our "OVERALL BEST VALUE" award. The pay-one-price policy allows unlimited carnival rides and trips thru 3 excellent haunted houses, one in 3-D. We especially liked the Thor dude who would follow you and the white faced girl. BIG FUN!
NIGHTCRAWLERS, CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN
Primo sound system (love those pro sub-woofers!) and interaction. This was our first time here but certainly not our last! Some houses get "burned out" late in the season, but we understand this house dramatically IMPROVED in the final stretch of the 2001 season. This underscores a point we'd like to reiterate: performances CAN and DO vary from week to week, day to day, and sometimes even hour to hour! Because of this, ratings are intended as general guidelines only. Timing is often critical to a successful performance. Sometimes actors and even automated props miss their cues and it can make a world of difference!
HERE'S 2 OTHER EXCITING TIDBITS from 2001: We squeezed in 2 last minute visits to Hershey Haunted House in Dearborn and The Scream Machine in Taylor AND THEY WERE BOTH 5 STAR PERFORMANCES!!! In fact, an 11 year old girl who went with one of our friends LITERALLY PEED HER PANTS at The Scream Machine on Halloween night! Remember what we've said about the ratings being general guidelines because performances CAN and DO vary from day to day and even from hour to hour? This clearly demonstrates that fact, so if a house doesn't have a great rating they still should NOT be counted out!
OUR PURPOSE IS NOT TO PIT ONE HOUSE AGAINST ANOTHER! OUR GOAL IS TO PROMOTE THE HAUNTED HOUSE SCENE - AND MICHIGAN IS NUMBER ONE IN THE NATION FOR HAUNTED HOUSES! LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!
