Well, with the cooler and colder temperatures we're experiencing right now comes the return of a Halloween tradition at Kennywood Park.

OnQs Dave and Dave have the story.

[Music Plays] Phantom Fright Nights is the Phantom's way of sharing the park with our guests, and it's totally different than anything you experience at Kennywood in the summer.

It really is a haunted amusement park.

[Screaming] Okay, now I'm used to haunted houses.

Used to Kennywood.

What goes on here?

It's more than just a haunted house.

Oh, it's much, much more than a hundred house.

We do have three indoor mazes Dave used to it Haunted houses and walking around goals and characters scary people.

But everything is themed here.

Everything, the rides, every light bulb in the park has changed.

There's fog everywhere.

The music is totally different.

It's an amusement park that is haunted.

So there's everything good about an amusement park and everything good about a haunted house.

There are rides open.

Yes, there are lots of rides open.

[Screaming] How long has this been going on?

This is year number four.

Phantom fright Nights is every Friday and Saturday night through the month of October.

Plus Sunday night, October the 9th.

[Banging] And at 7 to 1 a.m.. [Screaming] In order to stay competitive, you have to add days to bring in revenue.

And we have a park in Connecticut that has had a haunted park for a number of years before we did, and it was extraordinarily successful.

And it is across the country.

Look at how prolific haunted houses are now.

It's just a very popular thing to do, and we have a great setting for it here.

[Screaming] And you have food and games open to?

Yes, food, games, rides.

But it's all themed, scary?

Its all themed scary!

[Screams] I imagine this takes a long time to set up.

Oh my gosh, the amount of work that goes into this is unbelievable and so impressive.

The entire carpenter staff, the electricians, the maintenance people, the rides people are everybody shift and works different kind of job.

So it's so much fun because everything has to be rebuilt from the year before, from scratch.

[Screams] I think that's one of the things about this haunted park is that it's not real, real gory.

It's more the scare factor that be a go laughing.

At least most people do.

Some people go away crying.

It was great.

[Screams] Man I love this!

Who are these vampires and ghouls around us.

They're the Phantom's friends.

He's brought them out to scare you.

How will you be scared?

How will I?!

Yes!

Scare us!

Go ahead!

This is all I need.

Believe me, if I walk up to you.

I'm not sure what just happened there.

I'm actually a statue.

Put your moving.

Well for now and speaking for now.

So later you'll be standing and not moving.

I kind of topple over and fall on top of people.

Oh, yeah?

It's just something you come by naturally.

They saw you just sitting around and said you'd make a great statue?

You know what?

I just.

I came here the first year it was open, and I thought, I want to do that.

And then I did.

Well, I'm the mother that died years ago, and I'm looking for my other baby, and my baby's helping me.

Where'd you get the shoes?

Made them myself.

Did you?

Yes.

Bout of?

Two by sixes.

So these are basically from the Home Depot line?

Yes, I could use that.

Actually, I could use nice polished shoes like that.

You actually probably need them.

Oh, I do, not only scary funny.

[Laughs] What do you do when you're not a scaring statue?

I actually work for a dentist.

Do you really?

So I hold people saying throughout the day and come scare them at night.

You know, I got to tell you, that's a pretty scary place to work, the dentist office.

Yeah, it is.

Everything, including the vest, is all handmade.

So you made this yourself?

Yes!

They didn't give this to you?

No, no, this is all my own.

So your goal is to really scare someone, so they run away in tears?

Yeah, that's my favorite!

The man trapped out here!

Help me!

Please!

[Screams] [Jumpscares] [Screams] [Laughs] Oh, man!

Didn't you know that?

[Drums Clattering] It's amazing how many people just love to be scared.

[Screaming] [Stick Clattering] And Phantom Fright Nights take place at Kennywood Park on Friday and Saturday evenings through October the 28th.
