Manayunk Haunted House Getting Christmas Twist For One Weekend Only

MANAYUNK, PHILADELPHIA — One of Philadelphia's most popular haunted attractions is getting a Christmas twist.

Lincoln Mill Haunted House, 4100 Main St. in Manayunk, is hosting the city's first and only Christmastime haunt with "A Twisted Christmas."

A Twisted Christmas will be offered two nights only on Dec. 12 and Dec. 13. Hours are 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are $30 a person for general admission and $23 for a special group rate. Get tickets online here.

For A Twisted Christmas, the evil mill owner Viktor Kane, who now haunts the mill, hallucinated things happening around the winter holiday time in the 1930s. He hallucinated his workers mutating into twisted elves and sinister winter creatures. In his head, the mill has transformed into a nightmarish winter wonderland.

Guests will venture to the darkest and lowest levels of Lincoln Mill Haunted House. The interior of the mill has been decorated for Christmas. Christmas lights, tinsel, ornaments, trees, stockings, and anything that you can think of Christmas has been added and overlaid on top of the existing sets.

The story contains the same cast of characters, but all characters will have a Christmas essence to them. This event features more than 50 scare-actors — most of whom have been turned into Viktor’s evil elves and some transformed into popular Christmas characters — and is intended to be very scary.

"Lincoln Mill Haunted house is an immersive story-telling attraction. We wanted to continue telling the Lincoln Mill story throughout the holiday season," Lincoln Mill Haunted House Co-Founder Jared Bilsak said. "We have many detailed sets, scenes, and props that are sitting and collecting dust throughout the off-season. It only made sense that we utilize our haunted house space, sprinkle it with a Christmas essence, and offer something new and exciting to the community for the holiday season!"
