No corporate owner, no franchise playbook: a real farm, an 1800s barn, and a Halloween party that got wildly out of hand. This is how Eerie Acres Farm happened.
Our families threw a Halloween party every year in the garage next to the old barn on the family farm, a barn built in the 1800s.
Our dads loved Halloween so much they turned the old Victorian barn into a haunted house you had to walk through to enter the party. Attendance became a test of nerve.
Then the neighborhood kids had to brave the haunted barn to get their Halloween candy. Word spread. We started opening the barn to the local community, and the line down the driveway got serious.
Ten years on, we work all year long (building sets, hiring actors, wiring effects and working out logistics) to bring Eerie Acres Farm to life every October.
The haunt now fills a new building out in the farming field behind the original haunted barn. Bigger, longer, meaner, but still privately owned and family-run.
The motive never changed: we simply love Halloween, and we want to share our favorite time of year by scaring you silly. We hope you'll come join us.
“If you're looking for the best haunt between Erie and Pittsburgh, this is probably it.”
“Eerie Acres Farm wears its history as a home haunt proudly. It isn't high tech, but it is high energy, filled with gleeful horror and rowdy humor.”
“Focusing on actors over animatronics, they provide an in-your-face experience that is scary and entertaining.”
By day it's still a working farm: corn, iron, and quiet. The other shift clocks in at dusk.
