Terror Behind The Walls Tickets

Since 1991, Terror Behind The Walls has evolved from the original Haunted Nights concept into the celebrated Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP) in Philadelphia. Nestled within the historic Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, this immersive experience blends history with spine-tingling storytelling across multiple haunted attractions, live entertainment, and guided tours. The 2025 season runs on select nights from Sept 19 to Nov 8, offering five haunted houses, immersive elements, and bars for a complete night out.

As a trusted, long-running haunted experience, Halloween Nights at ESP invites you to secure your seats for an unforgettable journey through fear and fascination. Proceeds support preservation, education, and workforce development at Eastern State Penitentiary, making your visit a meaningful experience beyond the scares.

New for 2025, Dark Tides brings aquatic-themed horror to the ESP campus, alongside the adrenaline-pumping Apocalypse Pass and the atmospheric Beyond the Veil immersive segments. Typical visits run about 90 minutes, with online reservations strongly recommended to guarantee entry on your chosen night. ESP is located at 2027 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130, easily accessible to locals and visitors alike.
