I am someone who loves haunted houses and attractions so Halloween season is one of my favorite times of the year! I have only been to one of the attractions listed, which was Reaper’s Revenge, and it was amazing. I would love to see all of Pennsylvania’s top haunted attractions and would recommend for any fellow thrill seekers to check them out as well!
