Haunted House - Industrial Dead Zone II - Renaissance Academy

Ghosts, ghouls, zombies and fiends!  For two weekends in October, these creatures will walk the earth at the annual Renaissance Academy Charter School – Haunted House located at the Franklin Commons Education Center, 400 Franklin Avenue, Phoenixville, PA.


This open to the public, high quality event will be held on October 19, 20, 26, and 27, with the doors creaking open at 6:30 pm on Fridays and 6:00 pm on Saturdays.  Visitors arriving slightly before start time will be treated to a "flash mob" performance of Michael Jackson's Thriller.  If you are interested in participating in the dance, please contact us at Haunt@rak12.org.


The Haunted House, an area favorite since 2007, includes trained live actors, special effects, and well designed sets.  There will be a variety of food available for purchase, as well as tattoos and glow sticks.

On Saturday nights from 6pm-9pm, there also will be a craft and activities area for the younger visitors (which does not require a ticket but, as this is a fundraiser, small donations are appreciated).  This area also includes a Halloween-themed children's movie, face-painting, crafts, treats, and more.
