The Pendleton at Cranberry Woods

The Best Haunted Attractions Near Cranberry, PA

This Halloween season, get out of the house and enjoy some heart-pounding fun at one of the area's spookiest haunted attractions.

Here are a few favorites near our apartments in Cranberry, PA.

A 35-minute ride from the Pendleton,  ScareHouse  claims to be one of America's scariest haunted houses. For $20, you gain admission to all three parts of this attraction: Infernal, Nocturnia 3D, and Pittsburgh Zombies. For a separate ticket charge of $31, you can also access The Basement, an R-rated, 18+ area of the haunted house that pushes the limits of horror. Be prepared and consider leaving younger children at home.

WEST DEER NIGHTMARE

This is an intense,  themed haunted house  based on the story of fictional serial killer Noah Hobbs and his "West Deer Massacre". Hobbs was shot and killed in 1952, but now his son of the same name is on the loose. Thirty minutes from the Pendleton and with just a $10 admission, it's as scary as it is convenient. And you can feel good about it too as part of their proceeds go to Don't Be a Monster, an anti-bullying organization

ZOMBIES OF THE CORN

Not quite a haunted house but a lighter, fun Halloween attraction,  Zombies of the Corn  is the closest at a mere fifteen minutes from the Pendleton. For $34.99($24.99 for children), you get to participate in their Zombie Shoot ride and a campfire complete with s'mores and spooky ghost stories. What's the Zombie Shoot? A paintball extravaganza where only  you  have the weapons!

Whether you're looking for a night of fun or terror, there's something for everyone near the Pendleton.  Contact us  for more ideas of things to do in the Cranberry area!

An Experiment in FEAR

Tucked within a small town in Pennsylvania rests FearScapes, a fringe research base gone nightmarishly wrong. By combining knowledge of the paranormal and the occult with science based containment methods, researchers were successfully able to attract and contain entities of an other worldly origin. But when a malfunction in the containment process occured, these entities were then free to wreak havoc. Preliminary reports have shown that there is no way to contact personnel trapped within the facility, only those brave enough to enter may seek out those trapped and discover what secrets FearScapes holds.

Dates of Operation

Open every Friday & Saturday night in October 2023.

Hours of Operation

Box office: 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm, parking: free, general admission: $15.

• Admission to FearScapes Haunted Walkthrough

Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride

1835 Middletown Road, Glen Mills, PA 19342

For 28 years, the Haunted Hayride at Arasapha Farm has been scaring its visitors with amazing props, digital FX, great actors and extraordinary professional makeup. The Hayride has been featured several times on the Travel Channel and has been rated as the Number 1 Haunted Attraction in America by Hauntworld Magazine, USA Today and many other national publications. The Haunted Hayride is a 25 minute, action packed, heart pounding ride through the dark forest of Arasapha Farm, located just outside of Philadelphia PA, and is filled with huge, detailed sets, giant monsters and more pyrotechnics than a Kiss concert. With scenes like a 100’ foot long, 40 foot tall drive thru insane asylum, a full scale mockup of a New England church and a 200 foot long cave, the Haunted Hayride is an amazing example of Hollywood style sets and props. We have added several new, huge scenes for this season that will blow away the competition! These jaw dropping scenes are guaranteed to strike fear in the bravest of souls! And then there are the scares. With over 75 actors and 25 scenes, it is no wonder why this event is always on the “top 13” national lists of the best haunted attractions.

There had stood a great house in the center of the gardens where now was left on that fragment of ruin. This house had been empty for a great while; years before his- the ancient man's - birth. It was a place shunned by the people of the village as it had been shunned by their fathers before them. There were many things said about it and all were evil. No one ever went near it, either by day or night. In the village it was a synonym of all that is unholy and dreadful.

– WILLIAM HOPE HODGSON (1877-1917) FROM THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND

Pittsburgh-area haunted attraction has frights and delights for everyone

By Christopher DeRose

October 5, 2023 / 6:10 PM / CBS Pittsburgh

GREENSBURG, Pa. (KDKA) — Since the late 1980s, Jeff Johns and his family have been scaring and delighting people of all ages at Lonesome Valley Farms. 

Johns says the idea for the attraction was born out of necessity.

"This all got started back in 1988, the year of the big drought in this area," said Johns. "And we decided we were going to do a haunted hayride, trying to make up for what we were losing on the farm, on the crops and in fields that year."

Since its humble haunted beginnings, this frightening farm has grown into several attractions: a haunted hayride and a scary farmhouse, slaughterhouse, and barn of horror.

Johns says people seem to like the scares because they keep coming back. But if the delight of fright is not really what you and your family are after, Johns says Lonesome Valley Farms has something the whole family can enjoy, namely the giant corn maze.

Every year, the five-plus acre Get Lost Corn Maze has a different design to keep people guessing. This year it is designed to look like a ghost, and most people can get through it in about 45 minutes. And if you think getting through the maze is tough, try designing it.

"My boy, Jeff Jr., he's the one that pretty much designs that maze," Johns said. "He has a head for these designs and a lot of the things we do here. And pretty much what I do, I've got a John Deere 855, with a 5-foot tiller and I say, I am putting that right on your butt. So wherever you move, that's where that tractors going to cut these paths."

So whether you are seeking scares or just hoping for some fall fun this year, Lonesome Valley Farms may have what you are looking for. It is open most weekends just down the road from the Westmorland County Fairgrounds. 

Oh, and one word of caution. Give yourself time to get through the corn maze or people are going to have to come looking for you.
