HellsGate - CLOSEDHellsGate Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseI have had the pleasure of visiting Hellsgate at least 5 times and it gets better every single year. The interior is beautifully done from hardwood floors to crown molding. It is everything a haunted house should be. The actors are just amazing, its not a bunch of "Get out!"s or random snarls, there is thought behind the action and dialogue. The queue line actors are always the fun to interact with and will keep you entertained until you enter the mansion. It is a challenge to not just marvel at the beauty of this evil old mansion as you meander the various rooms but the entities within will keep you on your toes.
Statesville Haunted Prison - CLOSEDStatesville Haunted PrisonHauntHaunted houseStatesville Prison was the Rock-N-Roll of Haunted attractions. It was intense, terrifying, and a real trip. The actors were simultaneously scary, funny and quick witted. The queue line actors really helped to pass the time and there were staples like Fluffy you could see every year that just really added to the "muchness" that was Statesville. If you didn't get to visit before the Prison closed, the inmates escaped and moved into Hellsgate so you can find them there. As a postscript, I had the awesome opportunity to visit one October and act for a weekend at Statesville and City of the Dead and not only was the attraction amazing because of its set design and costuming but the people that made the magic possible were just the most welcoming and amazing people you can ever meet. It was such a collaborative environment where actors were sharing tips to elicit better scares and emotions from the guests. They really care about their craft and safety and making sure everyone has a great time.
Haunted Overload - CLOSEDHaunted OverloadHauntHaunted trailHaunted Overload is very unique in design compared to most haunted attractions because they use real lumber from the forests to make their sculptures throughout the attraction. There is nothing like turning a corner and seeing a several story tall scarecrow with a fiery Jack-O-Lantern for a head. In the queue area there a hundreds of carved glowing pumpkins and it is a sight to behold. Even their safety video is awesome, I laughed so hard as they demonstrate what will happen to rule breakers in the video.
Revenge of the Scarecrows - CLOSEDThe Bates Motel & AttractionsHauntHaunted trailThe trip from Philadelphia to the Bates Motel was worthwhile! The amount of attractions and things to do will fill up the evening. Plenty of actors to make you jump and really good sets. I really enjoyed the theming of Revenge of the Scarecrows and you don't see many scarecrow haunts out there.

Delirium - CLOSEDHalloween Nights at Eastern State PenitentiaryHauntHaunted houseThe haunted attraction at Eastern State Penitentiary is located inside of the very real, first prison built in the United States. This was the first spoke and wheel designed prison in the world and is the model for all modern prisons. Like everything in colonial Philadelphia, Ben Franklin had a hand in the design. When you go Eastern State, you are going to a real piece of history and the owners of the attraction have done a lot to keep this historical place in good shape. The haunted attraction is designed to easily take you from themed "house" to the next to allow you to see every attraction. The first time I went was Halloween night 2007, we were studying for our final exams for our 1L year at Drexel and realized it was Halloween so we took a break to visit Eastern State. It was a blast and a very good memory.
