Pittsburgh Magazine: Long recognized as one of the most famous haunted attractions in the United States., ScareHouse is planning a big return this October. The brand’s creative team announced that it will partner with The Plaza at North Shore to present Halloween Hangout — something organizers are calling “the ultimate Halloween destination in Pittsburgh.”

Personally I love horror and all manner of haunted houses so I would love to see this. This article did make me check out the Scarehouse website and unfortunately their website doesn’t seem to be active. They still said to return shortly and there was nothing about the stay in North Shore for this Halloween season. I’m curious if this may be an unofficial engagement to a limited capacity, like a soft launch back since their closing, and that is why it isn’t being publicized so much. Though either way I still would want to see one of the best rated haunted houses in the country.
I also would love to go to one of their horror movie screenings. To go there and get some Halloween food and drink and watch a movie would be so fun. I hope this is something that is actually happening and gets the right publicity despite the Scarehouse website and resources currently not showcasing their return.
One thing that I always love seeing from Halloween and the Halloween season is the artistry that we can all see when encountering decorations, costumes, and events such as haunted houses and other similar attractions. These are all places where people can express themselves creatively in a way that they love and enjoy. There are many people who can really let their freak fly when it comes to Halloween, and it gives them a chance to create some really realistic, gory, and awe inspiring works of art in spaces, on a canvas, or on a body. Not everyone has the same taste or enjoyment when it comes to these types of things, but I think everyone can appreciate the artistry involved even if they don't love the aesthetic. The event described in this article and the other events that are built off of it looks like it will be creating just the hub of Halloween creativity that I am talking about. I don't know if I will get to see it in person, but I know it will be quite the spectacle to behold in the spooky season.
Although personally I am not a horror or haunted house person in general this event does seem really intriguing and fun to me. While I may not like the trick in the treat I can appreciate the other parts of Halloween that continue to make it an enjoyable holiday. Every year the hit costumes of the year change which is also so interesting as seeing who wins the battle for best well known but niche costume. I think Halloween as a holiday is truly a big community event where strangers and neighbors from all over connect through this late night holiday. To create an event that truly celebrates that core value of Halloween is beautiful. To hear how the business struggled in 2020 really sent me back to how hard it was to keep a business open in those difficult times. It makes me really happy to know that ScareHouse survived and is now back and better than ever.
I absolutely love halloween; it is my favorite holliday. While some people like the holliday for the spooky vibes and scary popup attractions, I love it for the opportunity to make a costume and dress up as whatever I want to be without judgement. This year I am deciding between dressing up as Ramona Flowers from the Scott Pilgrim books and movie or dressing up as Nancy Drew the girl detective. Regardless of my chosen costume, I am looking forward to visiting the attraction and participating in the events coming up when I have time between working on schoolwork and working on lights for People, Places and Things. Along with dressing up myself I enjoy seeing the creativity of others with their costumes as well as the work and creativity put into attractions and events surrounding the holliday. From what this article is saying I am surprised that I had never heard of ScareHouse before as an avid Halloween enjoyer.
