Haunted houses in and out of metro Detroit to make scary times scarier
In case the world isn’t scary enough and you want to kick it up a notch, Halloween is right around the corner. And with it comes spooky attractions galore across metro Detroit.
The creaky doors of many haunted houses local and not-so-local open this weekend, giving ample time to get in the Halloween spirit. Especially given that most haunted houses stayed shuttered last season because of coronavirus concerns, we’re itching for jump scares.
Here are some haunted houses to check out this season, if you’re brave enough.
And remember, medical experts advise people to mask up in enclosed spaces. So please be cautious when getting the bejesus scared out of you.
