PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Lincoln Mill Haunted House in Manayunk is adding a festive twist to the holiday season with its unique Christmas-themed haunted house experience, “A Twisted Christmas.” This exclusive two-night event will take place on Friday, December 13, and Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 7 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. at 4100 Main Street.
Building on its immersive, story-driven approach to haunted attractions, Lincoln Mill transforms into a dark, Christmas-themed spectacle filled with chilling surprises. The storyline centers around Viktor Kane, a sinister mill owner inspired by the folklore of Krampus. Kane lures his “naughty workers” to the mill’s basement, where he traps and programs them into becoming his twisted version of Santa’s helpers. With over 35 scare-actors portraying eerie holiday characters, including Jack Frost, a gingerbread man, and Befana the Christmas Witch, guests can expect a haunting yet festive experience.
Guests will traverse rooms adorned with Christmas decorations such as lights, tinsel, trees, and stockings layered over the haunted sets from the Halloween season. Each character brings a holiday essence to the chilling storyline, offering a unique blend of joy and terror. The haunted house has also been upgraded with new scenic effects, lighting, and an eerie soundtrack to enhance the holiday thrill.
Co-founders Jared Bilsak and Brian Corcodilos aimed to create a holiday experience distinct from the October Halloween attraction. “It made sense for our Christmas experience to have a dark, twisted angle,” Bilsak noted. “Last year’s response to ‘A Twisted Christmas’ was incredible, and we’re thrilled to bring it back for 2024 with even more excitement.”
Tickets for this event are $35 for general admission and $50 for VIP access, which includes shorter wait times. Tickets are available now and are expected to sell out quickly.
For those attending, transportation is convenient with options by car, train, bus, or rideshare services. Parking is available for pre-purchase through the ticket website. Visitors are also encouraged to explore other seasonal attractions in Manayunk, such as the “Manayunk Gets Lit” light show and the Jolly Trolley.
Whether you’re looking for an alternative to traditional holiday activities or a night of festive frights, “A Twisted Christmas” promises an unforgettable evening filled with holiday chills.
