DarkSyde Acres Haunted House

DarkSyde Acres Haunted House in Jonesville, Michigan, is a premier Halloween destination, celebrated as one of the largest and most terrifying haunted attractions in the Midwest, consistently voted among Michigan’s top haunts, including #1 in 2012 and 2013. Spanning over 70,000 square feet across a rural farm setting, this scream park features five extreme haunted houses—The Catacombs, KlowneTowne, The Rusthole, The Dark Abyss, and The Labyrinth—along with a family-friendly hayride and zombie paintball, delivering a comprehensive horror experience. The Catacombs, a zombie-filled labyrinth, immerses guests in a testing laboratory gone wrong, with aggressive undead actors and gruesome props like decaying corpses, enhanced by strobe lights and fog. KlowneTowne, Michigan’s largest and darkest black maze, disorients visitors with loud music, strobe effects, and maniacal clowns, creating sensory overload. The Rusthole, a sci-fi horror haunt, places guests in a terrifying industrial setting where “Rustholians” hunt victims, featuring chaotic sets and actors delivering intense scares. The Dark Abyss, voted the top haunt year after year, transports visitors to a haunted pirate ship led by Captain Carcass and Bloody Mary, with nautical scenes, bloodthirsty pirates, and detailed props like creaking ship decks. The Labyrinth, a weather-dependent outdoor chainsaw maze, challenges guests to escape chainsaw-wielding hogs in a twisting, adrenaline-pumping gauntlet. Over 100 actors, crafted by award-winning BodyBag Entertainment and Raven’s Wolf, deliver high-energy, in-your-face scares without animatronics, relying on hand-built sets and professional makeup. The haunt’s rural isolation enhances the eerie atmosphere, with a festive midway offering concessions, a gift shop, and zombie paintball where guests shoot live targets. Due to intense scares and uneven terrain, it’s not recommended for children under 16 or those with mobility issues, though the hayride is family-friendly. With its Hollywood-quality effects, diverse haunts, and raw terror, DarkSyde Acres offers an unforgettable Halloween adventure for thrill-seekers.
