History Of The Haunt
A one-of-a-kind experience born and raised in Taylor.
Since 2001, The Scream Machine has been operating in Taylor, MI. Originally at The Sheridan Community Center in Heritage Park, our haunt saw a few spaces in the area before finding its new home in 2023.
The Scream Machine is a group-created passion project featuring handcrafted sets and actor-driven effects. Each chapter in our saga represents a refined version of its predecessor, we’re constantly working and finding the best way of offering new and unexpected frights for our audience every season.
Now, we’re upping the ante with a more spacious venue. While we’re still your seasonal ticket to adrenaline-pumping horror, our larger venue means more room and a greater array of scares than ever before. Our enduring commitment to innovation means the chills and thrills will never get stale. Every visit promises something new, keeping even our most loyal fear aficionados guessing.
Our haunt is transforming into a more refined beast, but without severing its roots as a house-made haunt. The innovations are all still centric to the original concept of the haunt.
The Scream Machine has always offered a truly unique experience in showcasing it’s history and its ongoing progress. Our history is visible in our sets and storytelling, because it bares the spoils of collaborative efforts across many seasons and many hands. Contributions from people who may vary wildly in skillsets, insights and talents, but share a passion for this artform and a desire to preserve The Scream Machine’s legacy as a one of a kind experience born and raised in Taylor, MI.
