PITTSBURGH, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — This Halloween season, on select dates from September 23 through October 30, Pittsburgh fright fans who brave The ScareHouse® will experience a new and unique attraction devoted to Western Pennsylvania’s living dead legacy: Pittsburgh Zombies.
The Pittsburgh Zombies attraction features elaborate and Hollywood-quality recreations of iconic Pittsburgh landmarks, now infested with legions of the walking and hungry dead. An experienced team of set designers and scenic artists are working around the clock to create a real-life version of the zombie apocalypse that has been so memorably and frighteningly portrayed by the series of Living Dead films shot in and around the Pittsburgh area over the last 40 years.
The ScareHouse® Creative Director and Co-Founder Scott Simmons is a Pittsburgh native who has worked in the haunted attraction industry for more than 25 years. His unique perspective as both a veteran fright expert, and a lifelong resident of “The Zombie Capital of the World,” has led to the creation of a haunted attraction unlike any other haunted house in America.
“This new attraction is packed with details, references, and recreations that any true Pittsburgher will instantly recognize,” said Simmons. “It also happens to be filled with flesh-eating zombies who would like to eat your brains.”
The ScareHouse® has been named as one of America’s scariest Halloween attractions by Travel Channel and ranked as one of the country’s top haunted houses by Haunted Attraction and Fangoria magazines. Pittsburgh Zombies joins The Forsaken and Delirium 3-D as one of three terrifying haunts offered for just one price. Tickets are on sale now at www.scarehouse.com.
The ScareHouse® is open on select dates from September 23 through October 30. Hours are 7pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 7pm to 10pm on all other nights. “Pittsburgh’s Ultimate Haunted House” is located just minutes from downtown at 118 Locust Street, Etna PA 15223.
