VOTE 4 THE BEST: Haunted Houses

5) Scarefest Scream Park

Beginning our countdown is Scarefest Scream Park, located in Lenox, Michigan. Established in 2006, Scarefest Scream Park offers four attractions, including the Castle of the Dead, Hayride of Doom, Forest of Darkness and the Terror Zone Maze.

"Scarefest is the only fright park I've been to that had the truly great scares I want when I pay for a halloween experience," says one Local 4 viewer in our Vote 4 The Best guide. "The humor, lulling you into a sense of security, followed by the horror. Fantastic."

Also home to a corn maze and Cries at Midnight Haunted Hayride, Haunted-Hollows says its three story barn was burnt to the ground last December by somebody...or something.

"By far the most realistic haunt I've been to," raves Matt on our Vote 4 The Best page. "This isn't your ordinary kids dressed in hoodies and blue jeans. Definitely surprised me."

2) The Terrorfied Forest and Manor

If the first three haunted attractions didn't give you goosebumps, perhaps the Terrorfied Forest and Manor outdoor attraction will.

The Terrorfied Forest is a thirty acre attraction that will take you deep into dark abandoned woods. The Terrorfied Manor is located indoors and is a second haunt next to the forest. The attraction says here, you'll find out what happened to patients at the Hillcrest Sanitarium before it was torn down.

"This place rocks," says Bob. "Everyone is so nice and it's not the same from year to year."
