Scarefest Scream Park Draws Thrill-Seekers for 11th Season

LENOX TOWNSHIP, Mich., Aug. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Halloween fans, mark your calendar. Scarefest Scream Park has new and bigger thrills in store for its 2016 season, which starts Sept. 9.

The Marino family, who launched Scarefest Scream Park in 2006 in Macomb County, have created one of the area's biggest and arguably "more to do and see" seasonal attractions, including:

• 8,000-square-foot haunted house ("Castle of the Dead")
• Forest walk ("Carnival of the Dead") that runs along the Salt River
• Hayride ("Hayride of Doom") with a zombie virus outbreak theme that will surely have the apocalyptic enthusiasts clamoring for even more.
• Haunted maze ("Terror Zone Maze"), a 5,000-square-foot twist and turn field complete with strobe lights and laser light effects. Try to remember where you started and where you're going. We dare you.

Scarefest's season runs on Fridays and Saturdays from Sept. 9 through Oct. 30 and is open two Sundays, Oct. 23 and 30. A beer tent with live music and food will also be available to visitors. Scarefest Scream Park is located at 34111 28 Mile Road, Lenox Township, MI 48048.

"Survive the Night" haunted camping continues this year

For the second year, Scarefest Scream Park has added an overnight haunted camping component —dubbed "Survive the Night"— on Saturday, September 10 and 17, at a cost of $79  per person per night (or $280 for four people). The event is designed for ages 18 and up.

Campers will check in at 6 p.m. and be assigned a camping area. Overnight visitors are asked to bring a tent and sleeping bag, although there likely won't be any sleeping. Outside alcohol is not permitted, although Scarefest has its own beer tent and its "Scarefest Brew," a blood red  concoction made by Rochester Mills Beer Co. and served in a commemorative can (four versions are available for collectors).

In addition to visiting all park attractions, campers will also be served dinner by Hamlin Pub, a local eatery, which will also provide breakfast.

Part of the camping experience is an interactive, horror-themed scavenger hunt that takes place from midnight to 3 a.m. and takes people into places they wouldn't normally see, a kind of "backstage pass" to Scarefest Scream Park. Terror continues after guests retreat back to their tents until breakfast. Organizers expect the event to sell out.

Tickets are limited for Survive the Night overnight haunted camping and must be purchased in advance at www.hauntedcamping.com.
