We are sorry!

Hello all,
Its been a very,very, long time since Mchc has posted anything these last couple couple months.
We want to say we are sorry for not letting anyone know were we went. Its been a crazy couple of months for us we have been to busy in our own personal lifes to even get back into running the club. We are really sorry, you guys have no idea how hard its been for us not to even run the club and actually skip this years haunt season but we needed to take the time for our self's instead of running this club, it broke our hearts to even write this so we kind of just went missing in action and not let anyone know what is going on. We are sorry about that, we really are.

But... don't think we are done forever, we are preparing a huge comeback coming after the 2011 haunt season, we are making some changes and possibly start new ideas in the next coming months, So look forward to us coming back in mid November to early December 2011. We WILL BE BACK, and we promise we will be better then ever.

Motor city horror club would like to thank our proud sponsor Haunted Radio, for being with us every step of the way and making this club the what it is today,

#5. Saint Lucifers Haunted Asylum. Located in Grandblank Michigan. This haunt is really crazy and scary. It has great effects and it's still a old school type of haunt. Not to much of special effects, but still has some great scares. If your looking to get scared this is the place to go. Please go to there site: www.fearfest.net

#4. Scream Machine. Located in Taylor, Michigan. This haunt is one of my favorites and we go to it every year. It has great special effects and great scenes in it. The "Hellevator" is one of the best parts of the haunt. It has good scares, but the effects is what captured my vote.
Go to there site: www.thescreammachine.net

#3. Demonic Demons. Located in Detroit, Michigan. This haunt is absolutely crazy. It's very in your face type of a haunt. They do things that I have never ever seen at a haunted house. It's not suited for everyone. You haft to know it's in your face and it will give you a scare unlike any haunt anywhere Else.

#2. Extreme Scream. Located in Waterford Michigan. This haunt is one of my favorites. I go to it every year and never ever get let down. This year is no different! This years haunt was amazing. Great Scares and great scenes. They are all old School. Witch is the reason why it makes number 2. Its all time one of my favorite haunts.

History of Horror Movies

Horror movies
Hello all
This week is our last week of Haunted History Month were we go trough the history of certain topics like The history of haunted attractions, history of Halloween and many more topics.
But now we are getting to the end of this segment and our grand finally

So here it is... The History of Horror Movies
Horror movies started to get very popular from the 1930's trough the 1940's. Many American producers started to create Horror Movies such like Universal Pictures. Universal was the foundation of horror movies. They brought the hit horror movie classics like Dracula in 1931,and The Mummy in 1932. Those movies started what we would call Gothic Horror Movies. Those films were some of the most scariest films people at that time would ever seen next too Frankenstein which came out in 1931 with Boris Karloff playing the Monster. In the 1940's Universal was still creating classics like The Wolf man in 1941 and also made sequels to Frankenstein.

But in 1950's and 1960's Horror movies would get a huge change. Since their were some big changes in television in the 50's. Some horror movies were being broadcast in color. Their were tons and tons of Horror Movies and SCFI movies being made in the 50's. But one of the best Horror Movies came in the 60's when Alford Hitchcock's Psycho was made it was the first movie that instead of monsters or ghost it was Humans doing the scaring. Another Hitchcock's film in this time was The Birds(1963) was made. Another huge change in Horror Films was George A. Romero's made Night of the Living Dead in 1968. Night of the Living Dead was the first Zombie movie.

In the 1970's horror movies got way More scary and gory. Their was a lot of great horror movies in this time like The Exorcist which was made in 1973 and was a box office smash! Another huge hit was Jaws which was directed by Steven Spielberg in 1975. There was also The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But the best one was in 1978 when John Carpenter directed Halloween. Halloween was the largest grossing independent film ever made!

In the 80's there were a lot of slasher films made during this time like Friday the 13th in 1981, and A Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984. That explains the history of Horror Movies from the start were it took off. Now I can keep writing about horror movies now. But I don't think the history is good as it was when they First came out!

We hope you enjoyed our last Haunted History month post of the year, we had a really good year with feedback from this , and we want top Thank everyone for reading and giving postive feedback.

Next Week we will not have a new newsletter because we will be out of town, but we will be back the following week with a brand new segment.

Hollywood and Haunted Attractons

Hello all,
This week we are about to finsh up our Haunted History month.
This week we are doing one of our favorite articles, Haunted Attractions and Hollywood.

Haunted attractions have always scared people since they first started. But over the years props have changed so much. But now haunted houses have gotten the idea to use props that movies use in Hollywood to scare people.

These props make some haunted houses the number one haunted houses in the Nation. Hollywood style props are very real looking and most of them are pretty graphic. But that makes the haunts extremely gory. If a haunted house uses Hollywood props their probably very good haunted houses. But even haunts don't use Hollywood props they still are using props that are amazing looking. In my time of going to haunted houses I have never seen haunts that did not have pretty cool props. Now I have seen haunts with better props then other but all props are gory. You got to give haunted houses credit for all the props because it coast a lot of money to have these types of props in these haunts. Some props run in thousand dollar range or more.

Here are some haunts in Michigan that uses Hollywood style props: Scream Machine in Taylor,Slaughtered at Sundown in Romeo,The Lab in Grosse Ile and Erubus in Pontiac.
Now that is not all the haunts that use those kind of props their is a lot more.

We hoped you enjoyed are article this week. We only got one more Haunted History aricle left and it will be over and that article is.. The History of Horror Movies!

Thanks for reading

The reason why Michigan is the Haunt capital of the world!

Hello all, Hope your week is going good so far
This week is one of our last post in our new segment called Haunted History Month. During haunted history month we tell the history on how haunted houses got its name and more
We will have two more post after this one and Haunted History Month will be over with!
So this weeks article is...

The Reason why Michigan is the Haunt Capital in the world!

Haunted Attractions have been in the state of Michigan since the beginning of haunted houses. Especially in the Downriver area their were large haunts and small local haunts all across the downriver area and pretty much the lower part of the state! Now the reason why Michigan can be called the Haunt Capital of the world is pretty easy to explain.
In Michigan their are hundreds of haunts all over the state. Most haunted houses in one state. But we have such good haunts around here. Too many to count but we do have a lot. Now are haunts are not rated the scariest in the world but that dose not matter. Haunted Houses here are awesome we got small haunts,large haunts,gory haunts. Hell we even got a haunted house that's in the book of world records for the most largest haunted house ever (Erebus haunted house in Pontiac) Their are so many great haunts here that their is a newspaper made just for haunted houses in Michigan.

But anyways if you go to any other state and go too their haunted attractions they properly can't compete with our haunted houses. People here in Michigan love being scared or scaring other's and you can tell that by the way everyone gets excited every October because it's time to be scared by one of our great haunts here.

Even though were having problems in Detroit and many other cites in Michigan. We can still re lie on our haunted attractions too be their to scare the CRAP OUT OF YOU!

We hoped you enjoyed our article! If you got any comments please feel free to email us at motorcityhorrorclub@gmail.com we would love to here some feed back from you guys!
We also got some great plans coming for the next month

Haunted Attractions Then & Now

Hello all,
This week we are back in action continuing our Haunted History Month celibration. Were we tell the history of all things horror and haunted houses.
Well this week we got a new article. This is a continue to last weeks article History of Haunted Attractions.

This weeks article is Haunted Attractions Then & Now.

Haunted Attractions Then: back in the 60's and the 70's haunted houses were very short and cheaply made. Almost all the scenes were set up in the dark. Their was no expensive props. Most of the props were homemade by the owners of the haunt. Haunted houses were really cheap ticket price back then. Part of the reason was their was not a lot of space. So it was not that long. But they still did the job for scaring people. Haunted houses back then started old school haunts! Old school haunts are haunts that were more dependent on the actors scaring the visitors not the props.

Haunted Attractions Now: Now a days haunts are much larger and gorier. The props are a lot better but not as cheap. Haunted attractions owners can spend thousands of dollars for props. But let me tell you these props are a really realistic. Also they have props that are like robots. Which now a days haunts use that kind of props that are more realistic. But still haunts still use the old school style of scaring people. Now their are also haunted houses and haunted attractions every were you go in the untied states. Also haunting is become a million dollar industry with high tech props and gory scenes.

We hope you enjoyed our article, Next weeks article is.. The Reason why Michigan is the haunt capital of the World.

Now last week we mentioned our proud sponsor of the club Channel 66.6 Haunted Radio, well they got some big news they are no longer Channel 66.6 they are now just Haunted Radio, and they have a new website witch is www.hauntedradiopodcast.com

History of Haunted Attractions

Hello all,
Last week we started our Haunted History Month witch is were we tell you guys about the history of everything horror.

Last week we told you The History of Halloween, well this week we continue Haunted History Month with our new article..... The History of Haunted Attractions

The History of Haunted Attractions
Well haunted attractions were basically a garage type of a deal were you would have fake props and cheesy scenes. The garage type haunts were not as long as a haunted house you will find today. But it was mostly to scare people for the fun of it not for the profit type deal like you will find today. Now from the garage type of haunts it got more real when Jaycees (Junior Chamber International) started making more haunted houses that were much longer the the garage type haunts! Now Jaycees haunts were run by volunteers. But they did start charging people to get in their haunted attractions! Now Jaycees was the founder of making a profit for scaring people for fun. Which will flip the haunt world up side down. Now a days haunts are much more better then it was back in the day. Haunted attractions have gotten a lot larger and props were a lot better now. We got haunts that are 4 stories tall.

Haunted attractions in the Untied States scare about 12,000,000 people a year! Also their are still a large amount of garage type haunts and Jaycees haunted houses all over the Untied States

We hope you enjoyed our atricle and next weeks article is Haunted Attractions Then and Now!!

Now we got some news on our sponsor Channel 66.6 Haunted Radio, who now has the new website, www.hauntedradio.com and go now and listen to there St.Pattys day celibration.

The festivals would include having bonfires into which the bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown in. Costumes and masks were worn to attempt to copy evil spirits.
On Halloween or All Hollows Eve Celtics would but a skeleton in front of their window still to represent the departed. Lanterns were in northern Europe were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga.
