Kalamazoo's Scariest Places

Haunted Houses across Kalamazoo

West Michigan Haunt Park

In it’s 8th year, the West Michigan Haunt Park returns to the Kalamazoo Speedway with two attractions for the price of one. Located at D Avenue (Exit 44) off US-131, the West Michigan Haunt Park is open Friday and Saturday nights in October, including Thursday, October 29 through Saturday, October 31.

Brave patrons may visit the Psycho Ward VIII, hosted by the infamously deranged and twisted butcher, Floyd Cranston. Cranston and his posse of lunatics will make even the sanest visitors feel committed—to fear, by the end of the night.

Get lost in West Michigan Haunt Park’s second attraction, the Dark Maze & Zombie Bayou. With blood thirsty zombies lurking in the shadows, patrons must meander through a horrifying maze, searching for the end. Or is it just the beginning?

The West Michigan Haunt Park is open from 7:30 – 11:00 p.m. on select dates. Admission is $15 for both attractions, with special group rates available. This attraction was designed for teens and adults, and is not recommend for children under the age of 12.

The Phobia House

Voted one of the best haunted houses in Michigan, the Phobia House has been recognized by the public for its maximum scare factor in respect its monsters, originality, detail, theme and special effects.

This year, the theme at the Phobia House is “Torment and Torture.” Tour 13 centuries of pain in the facility’s painfully massive 16,660 square feet of terror. Those brave enough to enter will be given a free pair of 3-D glasses to help bring even the worst phobias to life.

Located at 921 Portage Street in Downtown Kalamazoo, the Phobia House is open every Friday and Saturday in October, including Thursday, October 22 through Saturday, October 24, and Tuesday, October 27 through Saturday, October 31. Tickets are $15 and are sold at the door from 7:15 – 11:45 p.m.

Don’t miss Suspension Night on Friday, October 16! Members of the suspension team show will be hanging out all night for extra torment and torture at no additional cost.

The Phobia House was designed for teens and adults, ages 14 and up. It is not recommended for pregnant women and those with heart conditions.

The Haunt on KL

In its opening year, the Haunt on KL is ready to reveal to its patrons what lurks in the woods in a secluded forest on Kalamazoo’s West Side. According to legend, an abandoned farm located at the far side of the property served as headquarters for a butcher who kidnapped students from nearby college campuses. Visitors are asked to come see for themselves if the rumors are true!

As a family-friendly alternative, the Haunt on KL is offering not-so-scary hayrides. Haunted Hayrides on a picturesque fall trail are available every Wednesday through Sunday in October.

Located at 7532 West KL Avenue, the Haunted Forest is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in October, starting at 4:00 p.m. Admission to the Haunted Forest is $15. Haunted Hayride tickets are $10. Both attractions are available at a discounted price of $20. For group rates, call 269-760-5966. Visit http://kalamazoohauntedhouse.com/ for directions and details.
