“Terror Behind the
Walls” is the nation’s largest haunted house excluding amusement parks and is
set in Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary. This penitentiary was opened
in 1829, with indoor plumbing even before the White House. It is abandoned now
but was home to Gangster Al Capone before it closed in 1971. People come from
all over to see this spooky extravaganza on Halloween. It is filled with a
psychedelic 3-D room, pathways through the decaying property and 130 actors playing
guards screaming for help and infirmary patients howling in pain under the
knife of broken doctors. As of this year, visitors can opt to allow the actors
to touch and interact with them. This haunted house has been going on for 22
years and accounts for 60 percent of the yearly budget for the property. It
might even be home to real paranormal activity!
