Why Change locations?!

​

We are sure you are wondering why we changed locations after all this time?!

Our goal from day one of becoming the new owners of Terrorfied Forest was to expand and build each year.

We love Pinckney and the township and their support for all we have done. We worked with the township to expand our Haunted Forest and have year round events. Unfortunately the property we were at just wasn't going to work in our favor. We spent the last few years looking for property locally that would work for our dreams. It was at the end of 2023 when we were blessed with the phone call to take a look at the property that Hell Survivors Paintball and Airsoft Field's business ran on. We met the owners and took a look at the property as we realized the property would work, what we didn't expect was the owners informing us of their retirement and the want to find a new couple to take their place after the 40 years owning and operating the paintball field. With many conversations and making it work Byron and myself became the new Owners of Hell Survivors, which meant double the space than what we had already and it would work for all of our plans we had in mind! Although we are creating a haunt and starting over on new land, we promise as we had at the other location to continue to grow and expand even more now than ever! We can not wait to show you all what new and exciting plans we have even starting in 2024!!! Thank  you for following us and being true supporters of our business!
