Halloween est un véritable cri à Philadelphie.
Each fall, Philly takes spooky season to the next level as hair-raising haunted houses, nerve-wracking hayrides and terrifying Halloween attractions pop up throughout the region, scaring up new and over-the-top Hollywood production-level experiences set inside some of the creepiest places you can imagine.
Abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary becomes America’s largest haunted house. A century-old industrial warehouse basement morphs into the L'usine d'épouvante. Et un hôpital psychiatrique déserté Asile de Pennhurst se transforme en maison de la terreur.
As one of the nation’s oldest — and possibly most haunted — cities, Philadelphia is also home to a bevy of frightening historical ghost tours offering up chilling tales of the region’s paranormal past and shocking true events. Meet some historic spirits at Laurel Hill Est cemetery or take a haunted trolley ride as the Philadelphia City Sightseeing Tour transforms into La terreur au-delà des murs.
