Paid my annual visit to
Erebus in Pontiac, MI, last Thursday. Took my daughter and had a great time. Besides the usual array of Universal Studios styled effects, they added a simulated swamp this year. It's good. They use a combination of smoke and laser light to create the sense that you're descending into a swamp. You're surrounded by something like bean bags and you have to feel your way through, but can't really see where you're supposed to go. People and things jump out of the "water" and scare the shit out of you. Vines hanging down to obscure your vision. They also added some creepy things attacking you from above. Good times. Can't wait to go again.
Haunted houses/hayrides/etc. are huge in this area. I believe the most haunted attractions found anywhere in the U.S. are here in Southeast Michigan. It's big business and the places are packed on the weekends, especially. Halloween is the best holiday. It's the only good holiday. Monsters, girls dressed as French maids and candy.
