It doesn’t have to be Halloweentime to enjoy a dose of scary fun – particularly if you’re already a fan of the horror genre. While there are loads of seasonal attractions that pop up during the fall months, one up-and-coming “horror town” in Michigan will deliver year-round fright and plenty of excitement for those who want to step off the beaten path. Keep your calendars open for the most wonderfully eerie day trip in Michigan.
The Old West Stagecoach Shop is a now-defunct attraction located off US-12 in the town of Onsted.

In its heyday, this Irish Hills destination allowed guests to visit a replicated Old West town. Today, the buildings still stand alongside a western-inspired lodge, event venue, and annual haunted house.

While it might be considered easier to knock down the remnants of the Old West Stagecoach Shop and build something brand new, one Michigander has opted to reimagine and renew this fascinating destination.

Filmmaker Nate Thompson, who hails from the city of Monroe, has set out to turn the space into a “horror town” that will operate all year long and allow guests to immerse themselves in a spooky yet fun world.

There are multiple storefronts on the property, each of which will feature its own unique and spooky flair. HorrorTown, as the site will be called, will house a horror artifact museum, shopping area, and more.

There will even be an open space on site where visitors can watch non-stop vintage horror films. With year-round hours planned, HorrorTown will allow Halloween fans to appreciate the vibes in every season.

Thompson has unveiled a logo with the tagline “Where all souls are welcome.” We don’t know about you, but we think HorrorTown might just become a haven for Michiganders who appreciate the darker side of life.
