Local Attractions

Imaginarium Sanitarium

Fri, Sat, Sun

Sept 26 thru Nov 2

Opens at 7pm

Cresson, PA

This year “This is WAR” Takes the prison to a whole new level.

The House of Blood and War

The once-peaceful kingdom has descended into chaos. A dark portal tears open in the skies, spilling a terrible force into the land. From it emerges the Goblin King of War, a brutal, tireless ruler who commands an army of goblins, orcs, and ravaged warriors. His sole purpose is conquest, and he seeks to conquer not only the mortal world but the very foundations of the afterlife itself. But in his path stands the Rat King of Pestilence, a tyrant who thrives on decay and disease. Both ancient, both powerful, they have waged a centuries-old war in secret — until now. Upon his arrival, the Goblin King slaughters the Rat King, sealing his dominance in the mortal realm. Yet, the death of the Rat King causes an eerie ripple effect — a disturbance that causes a deadly haunted house to manifest. This house, a cursed structure, now exists between worlds, a place where the forces of war, pestilence, and death collide. It lies hidden in the heart of a forgotten kingdom, a labyrinth of madness that mirrors the inner struggles of its rulers. The house is not just a structure; it’s a living entity, a place where ancient magic and the remnants of war and plague take root.

Are you ready to come see what we have in store for you?

Fri & Sat

Sept 26 until Nov 2

Haunted Hollow is a Haunted Attraction that features unique attractions you can’t experience anywhere else. It’s raw and authentic, from the dark hallways of an actual circa 1800’s farmhouse to the blood red color of the acid mine drainage, the putrid, rotting smell of the swamp gases and wagon rides across desolate, moonlit fields.

Brave the twisted halls of the Bruner Boarding House and Milford Asylum, where undead and the insane await your arrival. Take a screaming trip on the Sinister Sircus Hayride, where twisted clowns are your escorts. Wade through the eerie swamps of Toxic Wasteland: The Bogs, but beware what lurks above … and below. And if you think you’re safe in the open, think again … the Dead-End Cornfield, where every path leads to madness!

Haunted Warehouse

Fri & Sat

until Nov 2

Located in Mount Union, this ever-growing haunted house has been called one great “old school” type of haunt that reminds you of a classic dark ride that you walk through. Your journey takes you deep into the basement of a 100 year old warehouse as you wind though the maze. Thrills and chills await you with many surprises around each corner. Something new is added and changed yearly.
