A Twisted Christmas Brings Holiday Horror to Lincoln Mill Haunted House in Manayunk

Philadelphia’s scariest attraction is trading pumpkins for tinsel this season as Lincoln Mill Haunted House unveils A Twisted Christmas, a dark holiday haunt in the heart of Manayunk. For two nights only—Friday, December 12 and Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.—the historic mill at 4100 Main Street transforms into a terrifying winter wonderland like no other.

In this twisted tale, visitors descend deep into the eerie basement of the old mill, stepping inside the warped imagination of the haunt’s cursed owner, Viktor Kane. Set in the 1930s, Viktor’s hallucinations turn his factory workers into mutated elves and sinister winter creatures, blending classic Christmas imagery with bone-chilling horror. Every corner glows with garlands, lights, and ornaments—but don’t let the holiday sparkle fool you. With over 50 scare actors lurking in the shadows, this is not your average festive outing.

Co-founder Jared Bilsak calls A Twisted Christmas an extension of the Lincoln Mill story—an eerie continuation that merges Halloween frights with holiday spirit. “It only made sense to sprinkle our haunted house with some Christmas essence,” Bilsak says. “There aren’t many scary Christmas events out there, and we wanted to offer something new and exciting for our guests.”

Expect redesigned sets, chilling soundtracks, and hauntingly merry characters inspired by beloved Christmas lore—all reimagined with a dark edge. With general admission at $30 and group rates starting at $23, tickets are selling fast at lincolnmillhaunt.com.

Whether you’re a festive Grinch, a thrill-seeker, or just done with light shows and Christmas karaoke, A Twisted Christmas at Lincoln Mill Haunted House is the holiday experience you won’t forget—if you survive it.
