Hustons Haunted Hollow

My boyfriend and I came here a couple years ago and were so excited to return. Since it’s over an hour away from Pittsburgh, we planned a weekend getaway to Somerset with two of our friends and came on the last Saturday of the season.
We had trouble finding it at first… My gps took us to a barn and said «you have arrived at your destination «…To me, there are few things that are scarier than being lost on a dark country road. I called Huston’s and the woman I spoke to was very helpful and gave us the appropriate directions from our location.
For $ 18 a person, it’s not a cheap haunted attraction. Although, the house, hayride and corn maze are all included in the price, making it not too bad of a deal.
It was super cold when we arrived. So, to warm up I ordered a hot chocolate and my boyfriend got a coffee. It was only $ 2.25 for both. Unfortunately, you cannot take drinks in to the house, so we kind of had to chug them before going in.
The house was awesome– my favorite parts were the clown house where you wore 3D glasses and the walk over the swamp was pretty cool as well. Next, you take a hayride over to a haunted area in the woods. After you walk through there you go back onto the tractor and are taken to a haunted maze. I was disappointed in the maze this year. It wasn’t hard to navigate and there wasn’t anyone scaring you in the maze, making it kind of pointless.
Our favorite guy of the night was beetle juice! Not sure if he owns the place or what, but he was extremely welcoming when we arrived and asked us how we liked it when we were done with the house, hayride and maze. He was super friendly and his costume was awesome– he even sounded exactly like beetle juice.
Overall, it’s a great haunted attraction, but not worth it if you are coming from Pittsburgh just for the house and not staying over night. As a weekend getaway, I really enjoyed it and plan to return in the future!

WHAT A GEM! Six of us had our annual «girls weekend» this past weekend. We always look for an activity in the area. This year we decided to try Huston’s Haunted Hollow! We ordered our tickets online and were shocked to see how large the crowd was, but we quickly figured out why. What a great and terrifying evening! It was the best haunted attraction any of us had ever seen (and we are no spring chickens!!) This is not an attraction for young children — it’s way too scary. Be prepared to do quite a bit of walking, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes (or boots if it has recently rained). Having a group made it so much more fun! There is a band and a bonfire so you can truly enjoy the entire evening there. Well worth the visit! We will go back!
