Go behind the walls of Philadelphia’s most infamous prison for a look at the making of Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary. In this exclusive interview, Erin Davis, Director of Halloween Nights, reveals how the team transformed the historic site into a massive Halloween festival featuring five haunted houses, themed bars, live entertainment, and historic tours — all inside a real 10-acre penitentiary.
Discover how the event evolved from the classic Terror Behind the Walls to a choose-your-own-adventure experience blending history, horror, and artistry, including the debut of this year’s all-new haunted house Dark Tides, where deep-sea horrors rise from the abyss.
