Whenever I was young, I always asked my mom to take me to a haunted house or Kennywood Phantom Fright Nights (now Phantom Fall Fest). After my first time going to a haunted attraction, I was hooked from that moment forward. I grew up always loving Halloween and anything horror. I absolutely love horror movies, too.
So, when I was 13 years old, I volunteered at Hundred Acres Manor as a scare actor. After my first night doing it, I loved it so much. Week after week, I would go. Eventually, after I turned 18, I became a core actor. Whenever they offered the job, I would go during build season and start helping build. Fast forward to when I became 21, I got into the union to become a commercial carpenter. I’ve learned a bunch of skills from my job and started using them down at the haunt. At age 24, I left the haunted house for multiple reasons. In 2021, I created a page called “The Pittsburgh Haunt Review Team.” At first, I made it just to start making short reviews for friends and family. It then started becoming pretty big and completely took off. I started making bigger and more detailed reviews. Eventually, I started going to 30+ haunts a year. We really go anywhere for haunted attractions. Paranormal investigations are also on the list.
The Scare Factor honestly gave me inspiration to create the page. I’ve always looked up to them and always wanted to join them. So, here we are today. I can’t wait to show everyone what our team can bring to the table! We are really grateful for this opportunity and for opening a new chapter for us!
