A 183-year-old ancestral manor in Barangay San Vicente, Sta. Rita, Pampanga was transformed into a Halloween theme park just in time for the spooky season.

Since 2014, the Gosioco family has turned their home into a destination of thrills and chills.

May Gosioco, one of the creators of the Halloween theme park, shared how it all began:

“Nag-start kami talagang display lang. Nagla-lagay lang kami ng mga ginagawa naming pang Halloween, and then kami-kami lang nag-Halloween party tuwing October 31," she said.

"And then naisip namin — 'yung mga kasama namin, 'yung mga teenagers — what if magbihis din sila? So while nagpi-picture yung mga tao silang pumasok, andun lang sila umiinog, so naging successful naman,” she added.

Visitors can expect to encounter life-sized monsters, including a Dementor and a Manananggal, along with other chilling characters like Vecna from Stranger Things.

“Worth it na worth it po!” Jean Michaela, a visitor, said.

“Hay grabe, nakakatakot sobra pero worth it naman ang pagpasok. Try niyo dito, sulit!” Shiera Faith Fides, another visitor, added.

In addition to the spooky displays, thrill-seekers can navigate a maze where various horror characters await inside their haunted house and Camalig Trail.

Guests can enjoy all the scares for just P70, and even treat themselves to Halloween-themed refreshments and pastries at the café if hunger strikes.

The Halloween theme park is open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. until October 31, 2024.
