It's the holiday season and you know what means... time for a good scare.
Lincoln Mill Haunted House is once again presenting 'A Twisted Christmas' for one weekend only this Friday (Dec. 12) and Saturday (Dec. 13) from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. each night.
This holiday edition follows the continuous story of Viktor Kane, a sinister figure who owns the Mill. With this go-around, the tale will feature twisted elves and sinister winter creatures with over 50 scare-actors traveling through the venue decked out with lights, tinsel, ornaments, trees, stockings, and more Christmas decorations.
"Considering our attraction has naturally been designed to be scary, It only made sense that our Christmas experience be a dark, twisted one that continues to build upon the Lincoln Mill story," says owner Jared Bilsak. "There are also not many scary themed Christmas events out there and we are always looking to offer new and exciting experiences to our guests."
In terms of the haunted house itself, the Mill has been upgraded each and every year to add some new scenic effects. This past Halloween, Lincoln Mill also expanded the footprint and added more space on the inside and outside, a release notes.
“We designed and built the attraction in a way that we are able to reconfigure the layout,” Bilsak adds. “We are always changing things up so guests will never have the same experience twice. We are excited for our second annual Valentine’s Day event entitled Viktor’s Valentine this upcoming February as well as some additional events that we are working on."
While in Manayunk, folks can also check out some additional holiday fun in the area.
