Scarefest Scream Park, a family-owned 50-acre Halloween attraction in Lenox Township, Michigan, is marking its 20th anniversary season, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of Metro Detroit’s autumn traditions. Since its founding in 2006, the park has not only provided seasonal thrills but has also become a significant local employer and a supporter of charitable organizations in Macomb County.
This milestone season promises the signature blend of fear and fun that has earned Scarefest multiple “Best Haunted Attraction” awards from Vote4TheBest. Guests can expect nightly stage entertainment, Halloween movies, roaming ghouls, photo opportunities, bonfires, and a heated bar tent, all while utilizing the park’s virtual queue system to minimize wait times.
The heart of Scarefest lies in its four main attractions, collectively known as the Four Pillars of Fear. The Castle of the Dead is an 8,000-square-foot haunted house filled with terrors around every corner. For those seeking a family-friendly scare, the Hayride of Doom offers a narrated journey following a researcher and his AI assistant through the aftermath of a viral outbreak. The Forest of Darkness takes visitors on a haunted walk along the Salt River, where specters of death lurk among the woods. Finally, the Terror Zone Maze is a dark, disorienting maze packed with twists, strobes, and 3D effects that promise terror at every dead end.
Before the official October season kicks off, Scarefest is hosting two exclusive special event weekends designed for adults 21 and older. On September 18 and 19, Ghouls Night Out will offer a unique twist on a girls’ night out, featuring a “Sip & Shop” local artisan vendor show with wine tastings, mixology demonstrations, crafts, and Zumba. Then, on September 25 and 26, BBQ, Bourbon & Boos will combine live music, local bourbon and whiskey tastings, and barbecue cuisine, all set against the crisp autumn night air. Both events run from 7 PM to midnight.
Located at 34111 28 Mile Rd in Lenox Township, Scarefest Scream Park has grown into a premier Halloween destination. Over the past two decades, it has become a multi-year winner of “Best Haunted Attraction” in Metro Detroit, a testament to its enduring appeal and commitment to providing high-quality entertainment. As the park celebrates this landmark season, it continues to blend community support with spine-chilling experiences, ensuring that visitors keep coming back for more scares year after year.
