Details

Pennhurst Paracon is one of the largest paranormal and horror conventions on the East Coast. It takes place right on the grounds of the historic (and notoriously haunted) Pennhurst State School complex. This expo blends spooky fun, paranormal investigation, horror fandom, and haunted history all in one event. It’s huge, super interactive, and perfect for anyone who loves the paranormal.

👁️‍🗨️ What the Expo Includes

Celebrity guests from shows like Kindred Spirits, Ghost Hunters, Destination Fear, etc.

Dozens of horror & paranormal vendors (art, crystals, ghost gear, merch, oddities, and more)

Panels, demonstrations, and paranormal presentations

Meet-and-greet & autograph areas

Access to multiple Pennhurst buildings depending on your ticket

Food trucks and concessions

A massive crowd of spooky fans

We’ll begin exploring together at 11:00 AM.

🎟️ Tickets must be purchased individually:

I’m posting this early so anyone who wants the VIP discount has time to take advantage of it.

🎟️ Choosing Your Ticket Type

Pennhurst has discounted pricing through November 28th at 11:59 PM.

Below is a simple guide to help you choose what works best for you:

---

✨ VIP – $60 during the sale (normally $120)

VIP is only worth it during the sale.
If VIP interests you, get it before the discount expires.

VIP includes:

Exclusive building access
(Tunnels, Industry, Quaker, Tinicum — NOT included with GA at any time)

VIP Dining Lounge

VIP-only perks & access zones

Collectible VIP badge/lanyard

⚠️ Since we are arriving at 11:00 AM, we will not be using the early-entry perk.
VIP is still worthwhile if you want to experience those extra-restricted buildings and the lounge.

At full price ($120), VIP is no longer a good value.
At sale price ($60), it absolutely can be.

---

🎫 General Admission – $45 during sale; $60 after

GA is perfect if you:

Want a fun, casual, spooky day

Are focused on vendors and celebrities

Don’t need access to the restricted buildings

Prefer the simpler/cheaper option

After the sale ends, GA becomes $60, making it equal in price to discounted VIP.
At that point, VIP is no longer worth purchasing, and GA is the best choice.

---

🔦 Optional Add-On: Haunted Pennhurst Tour – $30

Pennhurst also offers a guided historic + paranormal tour, which is an awesome way to experience the site more deeply.

The tour includes:

A guide who explains Pennhurst’s history

Paranormal stories and evidence

A walkthrough of additional areas

A deeper, more structured haunted experience

These tours usually sell out quickly, so book early if it interests you.
This add-on is completely optional.

---

👥 Group Details

We will be meeting onsite at 11:00 AM and walking the expo together from there.
Feel free to choose GA, VIP, or GA/VIP + Tour based on your interests.

There is zero pressure to purchase VIP — I’m only posting now because the sale ends on November 28th at 11:59 PM, and the price difference is significant.

Looking forward to another amazing spooky adventure with everyone! 👻✨
