An AI Armageddon is underway at Erebus Haunted Attraction. AI has surpassed human intelligence, become uncontrollable, and is determined to replace humanity.

PONTIAC, MI, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bloodcurdling chills and thrills abound at Erebus Haunted Attraction, the world-renowned fortress of fear, now open for its 26th season. In a ghastly turn, advanced AI has gone rogue, taking control of Erebus and creating an AI Armageddon with a mission to wipe out humanity. The fright-fest of electrifying, hair-raising, skin-crawling sensory assaults that have made Erebus famous rises far above the haunt’s four floors of terror. Those who dare to maneuver through the half-mile labyrinth will face a fusion of old screams and new, where creatures grab, bite, attack, and bury visitors alive as the fears of a dystopian, AI-dominated future become a chilling reality.

Erebus signature experiences include the swamp, bottomless pit, spiked spindle, and the intense "buried alive" room, where guests face the challenge of holding their breath as they’re buried alive.
