![]() I know that is our fault for ruining the effect of the spookiness, but it just was not scary anymore and joking with them kept the house at least fun.Īfter all the chasing, we caught up to other groups in front of us. Anytime the actors spoke to us, we would make a joke back. But after a while, the squeals stopped and we just started talking to the actors, and laughing when things popped out. I would squeal every time something popped out, and walk faster, or run if being chased. These things spooked me, yes, but nothing like how I thought I would be scared. Every two or so corners we turned, either actors with creepy makeup on their faces or fake blood dripping on them would pop and and chase us to the corner, or mechanical props would pop out, like a fake hand. The first five or so minutes of the haunted house was spent turning around dark corners and feeling suspenseful. I was the second in our line, and had my boyfriend lead the group because I was expecting to be scared. Several minutes later the doors finally opened, and we were allowed to start walking inside the Haunted House. This ruined any effect they were trying to create, and we were all let down. We learned on our own this was not going to happen, and we could actually hear the actors talking to each other casually on the other side of the door. We just stood there in flashing lights, anticipating someone or something to jump out at us. This was such a disappointing way to start the haunted house because we kept thinking something scary was going to happen, and it never did. ![]() The lights “scan” over you and test for these things. If you listen closely ,it says it is scanning your group for diseases and illegal contraband. In this space a voice is softly heard, but hard to hear over the noise of people outside of the area. A loud boom and a wave of smoke entered the room, and that was probably the most thrilling part of the night.įrom there, every individual group was set into their own line, leading into an enclosed area that holds the groups before entering the house, supposed to be a time machine.This area is a small space like an elevator, with two closed doors on each side. We there had to watch a video with a mad scientist talking about how we were about to travel in time to Erebus. We were separated into about 20 people and brought into a large dark room. We shouted Hailey’s name so that she would come and torment her, but all she did was get in Hailey’s face and say her name. In line only one actor was there to scare us, and did not do a very good job. These pictures are available to purchase afterwards, but this is a pretty fun part of the experience. Inside, right before you buy your tickets, each group is brought into a room to take pictures. We only had to wait outside in line for about five of those minutes, so it wasn’t cold. Compared to last year when I went on a Saturday and waited almost two hours, our wait time was only about thirty or so minutes. We went on a Friday night, around 7 pm, and the lines were not bad at all. Not going to lie, in my group I was probably the bravest and most excited to go the the haunted house. In my group was my boyfriend Matthew Bergeron ‘16, and my friends Danny Palmer ‘16 and Hailey Murphy ‘16. So naturally, I was super excited to go again. ![]() ![]() I have been to Erebus once before, and really enjoyed it, but each year the attraction is different. Horror movies are my favorite genre, and I’ve been to a fair share of haunted houses before. Here’s a little disclosure: I love everything scary. Around Halloween, hundreds of people come every weekend to Pontiac to experience the supposedly terrifying attraction, and I was one of them last week. Erebus is known as being the largest, 4-story haunted house in the United States. ![]()
