Michigan Haunt Launches Behind-the-Scenes Matinee Tours
The season is here for all things spooky and haunted, and you can see that with all the haunts across Michigan in full swing. But, why should all the fun go to those who venture out late at night? Sure, that’s when vampires and ghosts linger, but scary stuff can happen during the day, too, especially around Halloween.
As it turns out, one Michigan haunted attraction is offering a special behind-the-scenes look at what they do during the day. It’s a glimpse into how they make all the mystifying magic happen.
Starting Saturday (Oct. 15), Erebus Haunted Attraction in Pontiac, Michigan, will offer weekend matinee behind-the-scenes “no-scare tours.” That means these are perfect for the kiddos who don’t want to get too scared.
“Erebus is known for its intensity and size, where creatures grab you, bite you, attack you and then bury you alive. We’ve had haunted house operators from across the state and around the globe travel to Erebus for a look at our set design, animatronics, illusions, and special effects. Over the years, we’ve had people tell us they’ve heard our commercials, seen our spotlights and billboards, and want to experience Erebus without fear and see what happens without the scare. Now, for the first time ever, we’re making that opportunity available to the public on specific weekend days through the end of October,” Erebus co-owner Ed Terebus said in a statement.
“Guests will receive a non-scary view of the scenes, sounds, illusions, and artistic development that create spine-tingling chills, thrills, and the fright-fest of electrifying hair-raising, skin-crawling sensory assaults that have made Erebus famous. Guests will receive a no-scare tour exploring Erebus’ indoor, half-mile four-story labyrinth,” Erebus states. No Actor tours will take place on Oct. 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 30. A limited number of tickets are available and can be purchased online at www.hauntedpontiac.com for $15 each plus a $3.99 service fee. Happy haunting!
