PONTIAC, Mich. – One of the world’s largest walk-through haunted attractions, located right here in Michigan, has yet again been named one of the top haunted attractions in the U.S.
Pontiac’s four-story Erebus Haunted Attraction has been named the second-best haunted attraction in the country in 2021 by USA Today .
“Erebus offers four floors of thrills and chills featuring Hollywood-quality special effects,” USA Today reports . “Measuring more than half a mile, it’s one of the world’s largest haunted attractions.”
