WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) — Owners of The Haunt in Wyoming say they are back this year despite COVID-19 concerns. 

They caution though things will be different because of the virus. The staff made noticeable changes to help keep people safe. 

Haunt CEO Doug Shelden said, "the reason I’m opening is basically because there’s a lot of people out there who want to get away. They want to get away from the world right now.”

The typical occupancy load at the Haunt has been cut to 25 percent. Shelden says the action has a dual effect, creating a much safer environment and also a horror fans dream.

Many changes are just as important to the actors inside the haunted house as they should be to the guests coming inside. Actors, regardless of costume, will all wear masks of some kind and will not get as close to guests as they may have in years past according to Shelden.
