Terror in the Corn at Anderson Farms in Erie
Feeling brave? Terror in the Corn is our state’s top-rated haunted house experience. It preys on your worst fears as you wind through a twisted cornfield filled with frights. This haunted attraction in Erie is called “The Mile of Mayhem,” so wear comfortable shoes (and maybe bring a friend). This one isn’t for the faint of heart, so it’s not recommended for children under age 10.
