Fear Factory

Michelle Schindler and Lauren Calhoun

Beware of the haunting surprises around every corner as you work your way through the dark twists and turns of the Fear Factory. From killer clowns to ghostly brides to vortex tunnels, this fright factory will keep you on your toes, which is exactly what owners Richard and Holly Barron want.

"I want them to feel exhilarated and have smiles on their faces," says Richard Barron who's been in the scare business for 20 years. The key, he says, is for people to let go of their inhibitions and just have fun.

Tickets to the Fear Factory at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt. Clemens are $12 during the month of September and $16 until the haunted house closes on November 1. Sunday nights are family night with four hotdogs, pops and tickets for $54.
