I woke up to some awesome news this morning.. The Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction website is now up and running! You can check it out here. As I've said before, this haunt looks terrifying and really promising to say the least.
One thing that caught my eye was the description for Tunnel Terror: "After you visit this amazing haunted house, you are escorted into the bowels of Pennhurst and let loose to find your way home.. through the dank, dark underground labyrinth that surrounds the property. All of the buildings are connected by a tunnel system that is reputed to be haunted, so be careful as you wander home." We know about these tunnels being extremely long, dark, and haunted from basically every single ghost hunting show that has visited Pennhurst... Needless to say, this is probably going to be one of the best parts of the haunt.
Another note of interest is that the Bates Team is going to be using the haunt as a means to not only scare people, but to also preserve the sad history of Pennhurst through a new museum on the property.
Pennhurst Asylum is going to be running from September 24th - November 7th on Fridays and Saturdays from 6:30-11, and on Sundays from 6:30-10. Admission is only $25 per "patient."
Be sure to add Pennhurst to your list of haunted attractions to check out this Fall.. I know I'll be there!
