Temporarily Closed - Haunted House. Hidden away from the world is a long-forgotten machine shop. Evil pervades this space – an evil with one mind but with many bodies. Will you survive or will you become just another cog in the machine? What to Expect: Walk a one-way path through this high-startle, high-intensity haunted house. Encounter menacing shop workers, eager for you to join their crew. Jump scares, intense imagery, and effects like strobe lights, fog machines, and loud noises.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. This event is such garbage!!! It was better as terror behind the walls… now all the haunts are 1-4 minutes long (literally not kidding). They focus on it more so being a “festival” and want you to buy food and drinks from the stands and trucks. They give you glowsticks to be touched and the actors really never touch or grab anyone… but if your friend give you their glowstick like mine did and you now have 2… OOOF the employees get mad and decide to get in your face and harass you and grab you and call you all names and threaten to ban you for “theft” lmfao literally psychos. Trash trash trash.

The 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.

General Admission includes entry to the festival and all attractions and areas EXCEPT for The Speakeasy at Al Capone's Cell and the Hospital Flashlight Tour. If you have a health concern, please consult your doctor before attending Halloween Nights. Our haunted houses are high startle environments, featuring strobe lights, fog machines, and loud noises and are not recommended for visitors who are pregnant, prone to seizures, or who have certain health conditions. All Halloween Nights attractions, including our five haunted houses, can be bypassed easily. Many visitors who use mobility aids, including both manual and power wheelchairs, visit Halloween Nights every year. That said, the penitentiary complex is not fully ADA compliant due to its historic nature. The building is nearly 200 years old, and is a National Historic Landmark. Sections of it may never be fully accessible.
