"Trail of Terror" is back in 2008 with different scenes.

The vortex tunnel also known as a black hole is now here.  A 20 foot long tube you walk through as it spins around you. You walk along a raised bridge through the tunnel, the spinning stars swirl around you disorienting you.

We have added several thousands of dollars to this years production but kept the price at $10.  There are no discounts for trail of terror....we are already the lowest priced haunt around for what we offer.    WE ARE QUALITY!!!!  It takes a couple years of ticket sales to pay for our props.  We rather make ticket line go faster for you and not make change for you like many $12-$28 haunts in southern Michigan.  If one scene temporarily breaks down you still in for a good show and your moneys worth. No big prop has missed a beat in the last 5 years.  We have test run our vortex many nights on maze walkers...worked flawlessly so far. 

This is separate from the maze you can not get lost in haunted area. 

Timid friends can do the maze on the other side of the field while scare seekers do Trail of Terror - everyone is happy at Bestmaze!!

It is a trail over 1/3 of a mile long winding through the corn with over 60 turns, fog, strobe lights, shacks, spinning vortex tunnel, and more. Corey Rubino of Lansing says "It is better than any haunted hayride around - it is more fun to run away for a second then be hauled past stuff on a lame wagon" He has been to many other Michigan haunts and will be coming back here!

     Dates for 2008 are:

Sept. 27, Oct. 3, 4, 10,11, 17,18,19,24, 25,26,30,31, Nov 1

Those who visit us and then Slaughter House in Fowlerville....Slaughter House is shut down again for 2008. 

Tickets $10

The pictures you see are of our two 17 foot tall animated monsters...they are theme park quality with movement & sound.  These are first rate props from the leader in haunted props - not garage made junk.  A&E Television did a documentary on the making of these props of ours they are so good. 

  As you walk along the winding trail (not a maze - you will not get lost - the maze is on the other side of the field) you will encounter several sights and events.  Many special effects complete the mood; if a dark corn field isn't scary enough for you to start with. Several of your favorite horror characters will be back again this year.

 Everyone asks if this is good.   Most say it is great.  I personally put on a costume and did some of the scaring last year.  After I took my costume off and went out to the parking lot to take a poll to see if people liked it I recognized one of my victims in a University of Michigan shirt.  I asked him if the Trail of Terror was any good.  He replied " I wasn't scared".   Funny thing was he ran over his girlfriend and left her behind to get away from me.  When I revealed to him I was one of the freaks who he ran from; he admitted it was "VERY GOOD"  His girlfriend was NOT happy about being left behind.    

Terror has settled upon the corn  maze at Bestmaze in Williamston.  Farmers report of a new trail leading from the maze off into the direction of the swamp.  The trail leads past the graveyard where local legends from the late 1800’s abound.  Drifters have built  a couple  crude shacks along this trail.   These strange drifters do not like company – or do they…   Be forewarned; the farmer who first investigated this strange path came out screaming about hockey masks; chainsaws; monsters;  and a guy named Freddy.

What to expect:  The owners of Bestmaze  in Williamston  bring you “Trail of Terror ”.    You will be walking through trails carved into a corn field that are already creepy to many people long before it becomes the Trail of Terror.   Add in the special effects of fog; black lights and strobe lights and it gets the mood even creepier.   Then to this backdrop add your favorite Hollywood creeps like Jason, Freddy, Michael and others.   Although you will find yourself up close and personal with these guys no physical contact will be made.

What is expected of you:   You will be staggered out in small groups as you enter.  Walk through the trails and stay on the path.  Anyone going off the paths or onto a fenced off trail will be removed by maze cops – no refund.  We will not tolerate any rough contact with actors; destruction of fencing; buildings; corn; or throwing of any objects.   No alcohol allowed onto paths.   Drunks not allowed to enter.

Age for participants:   While the Trail of Terror will have intense scares it will not be a disgustingly gross production.   We take the gross out of some of the well known plots and present “the scare or terror”.   Not recommended for kids under 12.  Parents must decide for themselves to take children on this.  Many couples are already planning on getting a sitter for the evening and brining other friends. 

For those who do not like the scary stuff:   The regular corn maze will still be available on the other side of same field with no scary people in it.   Maze entrance runs every Thursday and Friday 6-10 pm and every Sat and Sunday from 1 – 10 pm.
