PHILADELPHIA, PA – Forget waiting for October – Lincoln Mill Haunted House on Main Street in Manayunk has established itself as Philadelphia’s premier story-driven haunted attraction, offering thrilling and immersive experiences throughout the year. While its Halloween season haunt remains a centerpiece, Lincoln Mill keeps the scares coming with creative off-season pop-up events, the latest being the Star Wars-inspired “Darkness Rising” on May 3rd, 2025.
Built within a repurposed industrial mill that famously flooded during Hurricane Ida, Lincoln Mill weaves its real-world history into its terrifying narrative. The core story involves a hidden chamber, an unleashed evil presence, and the malevolent spirit of Viktor Kane, the mill owner. This narrative expands and evolves with each themed event.
What sets Lincoln Mill apart is its commitment to a high-quality, immersive experience:
- Production Value: The haunt features detailed sets, sophisticated animatronics, and impactful special effects.
- Live Scare-Actors: Dozens of trained actors bring the chilling story and characters to life.
- Story-Driven: Each event, including seasonal pop-ups, connects to the overarching lore of the haunted mill.
Beyond the main Halloween attraction, Lincoln Mill has hosted successful themed events including a festive Christmas haunt and a twisted “Viktor’s Valentine.” The upcoming “Darkness Rising” Star Wars-inspired night offers a sci-fi horror twist, complete with ultraviolet lighting, a dark cinematic soundtrack, Sith-inspired characters, and unique props like “sabersaws.”
Located at 4100 Main Street in Manayunk, Lincoln Mill offers more than just scares. On event nights, guests can enjoy food and beverages (including local craft beer from partners like New Ridge Brewing Company) in the Midway area. The location is easily accessible by car, SEPTA Regional Rail (Wissahickon and Manayunk stations), bus, and rideshare services.
