USA TODAY called us "One of the Scariest Haunted Houses in America" - Click here to read their interview with Creative Director Scott Simmons
From Yahoo! News: "The ScareHouse is one of Pittsburgh's creepiest and ultimate mind blowing events when it comes to all things Halloween and events filled with the adrenaline pumping, heebie-jeebie factor"
KDKA: "The Scarehouse definitely lives up to its name. Scarehouse is ranked amongst the top of the pack for haunted houses nationally."
Nichole M: "Scarehouse is one of the best in the COUNTRY not just in this city. It's very clear that they spend a great deal of time in planning the interior decor, the costumes, and the acting. I honestly almost peed a little more than once"
Jessica M: "I love the Scarehouse! I had no idea what to expect going in, but I had heard friends speak highly of it. I was not disappointed!"
With more than 30 years haunting experience designing over 100 original and innovative Haunted Attractions through his company, Hauntrepreneurs®, Leonard Pickel has created frightening attractions for major venues worldwide including Madison Square Garden, Universal Studios Florida, Six Flags theme parks, and Kandy Halloween at the Playboy Mansion as well as Haunted Attractions in foreign countries.
The attraction has 3 sections; The Forsaken was first. Creepy, high quality sets make for a twisting claustrophobic trip through a long forgotten carnival. Delirium 3D was a high energy, florescent blacklite LSD trip through a rave club of fright, complete with a live DJ pumping out dance tunes! And finally, Pittsburgh Zombies is an apocalyptic journey of survival through a zombie infested city. Zombies were coming from every direction and avoiding them came impossible as we hurried to the safety of the real Pittsburgh streets.
Each of the haunts were filled with great actors wearing great costumes in great sets and great haunt design. Several places in the experience you can see into other parts of the path giving you a teaser of what is to come, and making the enormous attraction seem even bigger.
Everyone in our party gave The Scarehouse a thumbs up!

KDKA says "The Scarehouse — located in Etna — definitely lives up to its name. Scarehouse is ranked amongst the top of the pack for haunted houses nationally. The Travel Channel calls it “One of America’s Scariest Halloween Attractions.” I visited this haunt last year and they are not kidding! Admission includes entry to three attractions and you can buy a ticket only for immediate entry. If you choose to wait on the long line outside – don’t be put off by the cheesy actors who attempt to scare and annoy you. And by the way, the wait is well worth it. Inside there are multiple rooms of fright. The most memorable moments were definitely the endless maze of punching bags that never ended, and the cool Delirium 3-D rooms. It takes about 30 anxiety-ridden minutes to work your way through so you won’t feel cheated by the admission price." Click here to read reviews of other Halloween attractions in Pittsburgh.

Oni drove six hours from Jersey to check out Pittsburgh's Ultimate Haunted House and declared it "freaking awesome!"
From her review: Should you go to the Scarehouse? Most definitely! These guys have extremely high-quality set pieces and many scare actors working inside them. I would put them on par with the amazing set pieces that Busch Gardens Tampa creates. (English translation: VERY good.) Click here to see the review on onezumiverse.com.
