This Halloween season, Pittsburgh’s ScareHouse, which Travel Channel dubbed “One of America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions“, will be hosting two attractions based on the films of Michael Dougherty: Krampus and Trick ‘r Treat! The attractions open this Friday, September 18th and ends on Halloween night, so be sure to make it during those weeks if you want to experience these amazing sounding events.
Direct from the official press release, here are the descriptions of both events:
The legend of Krampus is awoken! ScareHouse’s team of scenic and special effects artists have collaborated directly with Dougherty and LEGENDARY to bring many of Krampus’ mischievous underlings from the upcoming film to life within the haunted attraction Krampus: Come All Ye Fearful. Guests will gain the rare opportunity to admire actual props, costumes, and practical creatures from the film before entering a highly immersive attraction that follows the legacy of Krampus, the iconic figure of dark folklore as old as Christmas itself. Visitors to the Pittsburgh haunted attraction will journey through generations of holiday horror and encounters with demonic minions before a final confrontation with the ancient subversive force of darkness that rises to haunts the naughty, bringing terror and mayhem in his wake.
Trick ‘r Treat: Hallowed Grounds is a truly ground-breaking and eye-popping tribute to an iconic figure beloved by Halloween and horror fans across the globe. Guests follow Sam, who represents the true heart of Halloween, as he leads them into a giant black and white pop-up book brought to fiendish life. Those who break the rules of All Hallows Eve risk facing tragic consequences before midnight!
ScareHouse exists within a 100-year-old haunted building where designers, artists, and veteran fear experts combine genuine history with modern technological magic to create a haunted house experience unlike any other attraction.
The price of admission covers both events as well as a third attraction, titled The Summoning, “…an elaborate haunted attraction with a masterful blend of art and the macabre set in October 1932 which explores a hidden world of secret societies, arcane rituals, and demonic visitors.”
