ScareHouse is now located within The Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills.
No more parking hassles!
Since 2013 The Basement has featured a series of intense, intimate and R-rated horrors that challenge the limits of fear for anyone 18 years or older and willing to sign our waiver.
While we encourage Pittsburgh fright fans to visit ScareHouse this year, The Basement will not return until the risks of COVID are further minimized. Those of you who have experienced The Basement in previous seasons know that it is a highly tactile and intimate experience involving close physical encounters with intense performers and situations – none of which is advisable during this unprecedented and still ongoing pandemic.
Stay safe, stay scared, and we look forward to freaking you out again as soon as it’s safe to do so.
