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. It has always been a group created passion project featuring handcrafted effects and actor driven elements. The Scream Machine saw a few venues in the area before finding its current home in 2016. 

In the years since then, the attraction has been ever-evolving into a better version of itself. Each season the Machine is lovingly dismantled before being reassembled entirely the following year. We’ve always delighted in tailoring the attraction to audience appetites. By setting up from scratch every season we are able to remove some elements and create new ones during rebuild as we learn and strive toward a better production.

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.
