Lincoln Mill’s A Twisted Christmas Returns With Holiday-Themed Characters and Plenty of Jump Scares
The holidays are about to get a whole lot darker. This weekend, Lincoln Mill transforms its historic textile factory into a chilling Christmas horror experience with A Twisted Christmas, running December 12 &13 from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. For those who crave scares with their seasonal sparkle, this haunted holiday pop-up delivers a sinister winter spectacle unlike anything else in Philadelphia.
Housed inside the historic mill at 4100 Main Street in Manayunk, A Twisted Christmas puts a terrifying spin on holiday cheer. This year’s storyline follows Viktor, whose descent into madness blurs the line between reality and nightmare. As his mind fractures, his once-loyal workers morph—at least in his eyes—into grotesque elves, monstrous winter creatures, and distorted shadows of holiday icons.
This is no lighthearted holiday display. Featuring professional scare-actors, movie-quality sets, animatronics, and immersive special effects, the attraction plunges guests into a winter wonderland where the only thing colder than the air is the sense of dread lurking around every corner.
Visitors can expect:
-
A fully themed horror walk-through set inside a historic 19th-century mill
-
Highly detailed production design, blending holiday décor with chilling visuals
-
Jumps, haunts, and psychological twists inspired by Viktor’s unraveling sanity
-
Live performers that bring the terror to life
-
A seasonal atmosphere that merges Christmas charm with fear-soaked chaos
NOTE: This attraction is designed to be scary. It is not recommended for young children, the faint of heart, or anyone looking for a typical jolly holiday outing.
