Go to a Haunted House

If you’re into spooky festivities, head to one of the many haunted houses in the area! Some popular choices include Hundred Acres Manor, Scarehouse, Cheeseman’s Farm, and Kennywood’s Fright Night. If you’re more of a stay-in type of spooky person, cuddle up on the couch and have a scary movie marathon!
