The Scream Machine — Local services in Taylor

A ton of improvements from last year. Many of which I noticed were the sets. They are much more detailed, spooky, and grimy. It gave you the feel that you were actually walking through an abandoned building. I was happy they opted out of the typical "turn back" and "you're going to die" blood covered walls. You can tell the team put a lot of heart and soul into the new design, which I admire and appreciate. They needed a face lift, and they got one. We went opening weekend, and it was particularly slow for a Saturday night. That is to be expected though, and I feel it will get stronger as the season moves forward. That however, did not deter their line actor from keeping us entertained. We arrived around 8:30, and were greeted by the beloved Fetters. From start to finish, he kept us on our toes, and made our little wait time an exciting one. He's gritty, sarcastic, and slightly charming; but quick with remarks and wit that keep you wanting to heckle back and forth with him. Some of the scares where ill timed, and if we didn't slow down may have been missed completely. Then again, I do believe that will be worked out as the season progresses and the actors get the feel of the scene they are placed in. There was one scene in particular that really stood out to me. Without giving too much away, it was the surgeon room; with the body on the operating table. The scare in the room was so well done, I kept thinking about it when we left. You'll have to go visit yourself to see what i'm talking about. Some scenes, the actors did not scare us at all. Not even any slight effort. I'm not sure if they missed their ques or if they were unsure of how to work the scene they were in. You can definitely tell the seasoned actors from the green actors. I do wish some areas had sound or music. That would have set the reality they are trying to portray. The church scene would have been much more frightening if there were low chants, or organ music playing. That was an area where the scare did not happen, and we just walked right through a quiet room. So much potential, so little effort. The clowns are always entertaining and fun, with Peepo as their ringleader. If you don't have a fear of clowns, his giggle will leave chills down your spine and make you reconsider your fear. The room design this year left you jumbled and scrambling to find a way out as you played their game, which I really enjoyed. They made use of their space, and did a great job of doing it. The set backs did not prevent me from having a great time. Maybe i'll pop back in at the end of the season to see if the small bugs have been worked out. The Scream Machine always puts on a fun and entertaining show. A modern twist on an old school flare, and a staple spot to go and visit. Great job by the...

😍❤️😍 I'm in love with Peepo!!! 😍❤️😍 This handsome fellow followed me out! 🤭🤭 I've worked in haunted houses before and now I am always curious to see how each house is put together and almost every detail in this one was intricate and perfectly aligned with the scare! Masks and make-up were great!!! The inside waiting area is actually warm! I greatly appreciated this hah Safety is first and that is KEY!! There are warnings about touching actors as well as the fact that that DO NOT touch you. They only get close enough to creep you out (However, I smiled in their faces just because they do such an awesome job with their acting) . They have moving haunts, tight corridors to squeeze through, scares coming from above, left and right, EVEN FROM BELOW!!! My favorite haunts include the Doctor (he has so many amazing things to do and show you!! COME! COME ALONG!!), Peepo and his boys (fun little maze, you can't find your way out of there!), And my absolute favorite which is strange because it's not meant to scare you but to prepare you for the clown haunt....the walkway bridge inside the spinning room.... LOVE IT!!! Josh in Security was cool, talked and joked with us making sure we had a good time even while waiting in line. Thank you guys!! It was a blast, I'll come back and see...

I recently visited The Scream Machine and was completely blown away! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was electric with excitement. The entrance was cleverly designed, setting the tone with eerie sounds and lighting that drew us into the spooky experience. The actors were phenomenal, fully immersing themselves in their roles with impressive commitment. Each scare was perfectly timed, leaving us jumping out of our skins and laughing in equal measure. The set design was nothing short of spectacular, with intricate details that made each scene feel like we had stepped into a horror movie. The haunted house was a blend of classic scares and unique twists that kept us on our toes. One highlight was the interactive element parts that kept you guessing as to what was coming! I also appreciated the staff’s enthusiasm. They were friendly and clearly passionate about creating a memorable experience for visitors. Afterwards, the staff was right there to talk, laugh and help if needed. (Lol) Overall, this haunted attraction was a thrilling adventure that combined chills, laughs, and a great sense of community. I can't wait to return next year for more...
