Get Tickets. Pittsburgh's top ranked haunted house! It may seem cliche, and maybe it is, but the haunt seemed to come alive beneath the cover of darkness.
The facade of the manor itself — a cinematic, towering structure with castle-like pillars and a stained-glass window on top — was impressive by day, and chilling by night. As an eerie red light switched on and a layer of fog rolled in, Hundred Acres Manor came out of its shell.
No cell phones, no touching the actors. I was going solo for the second week in a row; My friends all thought I was insane for going at all. But as strange as it sounds, I had fun.
Did I scream? Oh, yeah. But I laughed a lot, too. What struck me most was both the breadth and variety of the haunt. In another, you stumble across the remains left behind by an ancient legend that seems to have come back from the grave — and might just put you in a grave of your own.
But never once did I find myself wishing the next room would be the last. Although we're not really haunted house fans in our own right, we can certainly see why this one should be on the radar for those who are, and we look forward to what they bring out in the future… if Angie ever recovers, at least! They are open on weekends from early September to the end of October and on select weeknights in October schedule likely to vary year to year.
General admission and VIP tickets can be purchased online for use on any date in the season, and is highly recommended to save a bit of time when you arrive. The manor is also open to the elements at times, and operates in inclement weather. We'd like to thank Hundred Acres Manor for inviting us down to experience the haunted attractions. As always, all opinions are our own.

This, accompanied by the use of animatronics helped limit the downtime between interactions.
We were surprised at the range in dialogue this season especially in The Host section. It provided the most diverse dialogue.
You are bringing in disease, the streets of London are filthy. This makes sense because during both the plague and Jack the Ripper, curfews were put in place.
Possibly it is a social commentary on the lockdowns and quarantines we experienced not too long ago? She did an excellent job of slurring her speech and walking like a drunkard. All the actors spouted off their lines with British accents providing more authenticity.
The remaining themes stuck with the typical jump scares approach. Let it go doc, he was missing all his organs already. The actors did provide their lines according to the scenes which felt natural. We would have liked a little more interaction, however, the number of patrons that partake in the manor each night would ultimately impact the flow of the show.
As I have mentioned before, costuming is my least favorite category to review. However, if I do notice a costume it has to stand out as good or bad. During our visit to London, the costumes seemed appropriate and nothing felt out of place. Old-style clothing, disheveled and worn, fit the characters. Pale makeup and black eyes provided a sickly look to these cheeky Brits.
It was hard to see more details as most were behind drop-down windows. We also bumped into cult members with goat heads, a monk, some colorful gents who were truly glowing, a couple of lumberjacks, a Yeti or two, and a witch who all had on fitting costumes for the theme in that area. It is located in South Park. Entering the address will lead you to the haunt. However, a slight change was made two years ago. Due to parking restraints near the haunt on Acres Drive, you can now park at the skating rink lot on Corrigan Drive.
On busy nights parking fills up fast. This is located on the main road heading into South Park from Bethel Park. After parking, you will cross the main road and head to the wagon ride. There is also a building with restrooms to the left, which has always given me the creeps, or you can wait to arrive at the haunt which also has restrooms.
This is a non-haunted ride to get you from the parking lot to the haunt and back. I remember when I would have my cassette tape ready to go before heading up the road. It still provides a creepy feeling when a low branch scrapes the top of the covered wagon and for a brief second everyone wonders what the hell was that?
The ticket booths are designed in stone matching the manor itself as does the gift shop. Both were easy to point out. We noticed security onsite and police nearby. In regards to Covid, they are sticking with CDC guidelines. They have limited high touch areas, added hand sanitizer stations, and all employees must wear a mask.
Customers are not required to wear masks. Inside the haunt, we did not notice any major safety issues. There are dark spots, uneven ground, some steep ramps, as well as low spots, proceed with caution. All the staff we encountered were extremely helpful and nice including but not limited to, management, the wagon ride helpers, the ticket booth, gift shop, Mortem Manor, and security.
We did notice a lack of line actors when we were in line, which was a short time this evening. Sound plays a prominent role throughout the experience. Each area and sometimes each new set had its soundtrack and sound effects.
As we strolled the streets of London we heard crows, wind, bells Big Ben? The breach had intense music spreading through the ship while Voodoo had wind, crickets, locusts, frogs, swamp noises, and an intense chest-thumping composition in the church area.
All Hallows Eve had quirky Halloween music playing throughout. We noticed that depending on if you were inside or outside the sound effects were appropriate to the surroundings which was another nice detail.
Another layer of sound was with the animatronics which sounded like these were turned up to eleven. They were ear-shattering. The set design was impeccable.
