Darksyde Acres Haunted House…Zombie Apocalypse Land and Sea

We love a haunt that is more than just one haunted house. One fabulous haunted house can be great, but there is a lot to be said for a collection of haunts scattered across one park so you can fill a whole evening with screams. Darksyde Acres offers six sinister haunts to spike the Michigan night with terror. Hollywood-quality effects and professional actors more than earn this park its spot on our list.

The haunted hayride is a traditional favorite for this time of year. Darksyde earns extra points from us for bringing the delightful terror of the season to the younger generation. Starting in 2012, the scream park includes a haunted hayride designed for families. Introduce your little ones to Halloween horror in a way that won’t land them in therapy for the rest of their lives. Once this mile of spooky fun is over, however, the little ones should get tucked in with a kiss and hopes for sweet dreams before you venture forward into our own personal nightmare. Wander through the rest of the haunts prepared to fight for your own survival. The zombie hordes have taken over the farmland and are eagerly recruiting more for their number. Join the army fighting off the impending swarm of undead armed only with paintball guns. Escape the land-crawlers and you must battle the rotting crew of Michigan’s only haunted pirate ship. Encounter Captain Karcass and his bloody bride along with their decrepit crew for a haunted house that will make you wish you could walk the plank just to escape the torment.

Zombies are the hot trend in haunted houses, but we love that Darksyde Acres has taken this idea and put a salty twist on it with the pirate haunted house. We were also overjoyed to hear about the family friendly hayride. There’s nothing like getting together with the whole clan for Halloween thrills.
