The Hacker House is open Friday and Saturday nights in October. Our operating
times are from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Please see our Dates
and Times page! We may close early due to weather or other factors. Please
call our FrightLine for the latest information.
We are located just outside of Pilot Mountain, NC one mile from
Main Street down Old Westfield Road on Hacker House Trail, about 12
miles south of Mount Airy, 20 miles north of Winston-Salem and 35
miles northwest of Greensboro. Go to our detailed directions for maps and more
information.
The Hacker House is an intense scary experience and generally not recommended for small children. We are scary entertainment. We tell ghost stories, horror stories, and produce an intense role playing environment. Use your own discretion if you choose to allow your children to enter. If you want to bring younger children to Hacker House, be sure your child knows the difference between fantasy and reality. All children (and adults!) have different "scare" tolerances, and you know your child best. If your child keeps you up all night with nightmares - we warned you. Keep in mind, we are SCARY entertainment!
Most people plan to spend an average of 2-3 hours to enjoy the happenings at Hacker House, including waits in line on busy nights. The time you spend may vary depending on crowds, the size of your group, and waiting times. On Saturdays, our busiest nights, plan on spending more time for your visit.
TIP: to minimize your wait, visit early in the month on a Friday night!
After you turn off the main road into the Hacker House Haunted House, please follow the parking directions. Our fiendly parking director, Nono, will direct you to the closest parking space possible.
Sorry, but photography or video are not allowed inside the Hacker House. The spirits inside do not react well to bright lights...It not only hurts their eyes, but ruins the experience for others, and can cause safety problems. Also, if you're distracted by your camera, you won't be able to enjoy the all the scary fun! Cameras may be left at the souvenir booth (with drivers license as proof of ownership) for safe-keeping, or you can leave your camera in the car for your tour through the Hacker House. Once back outside the event, get your camera and feel free to be a shutter-bug. If you are inside the event taking photos or video, you will be ejected.
Our policy is no refunds. If you did not make it in the door, then your ticket will still be good for a pass on another night when you are ready for the experience. However, each situation is unique, and will be looked into with all attempts in your behalf.
You only need to walk 20 feet from the ticket booth to enter the Hacker House experience. We have added an extended Courtyard area that you may not want to leave! Listen as your guides and Granny Hacker relate the legend and other macabre stories. You don't even want to know what Ralph is 'up' to. Then there's the 'helpful' staff to watch and listen to and experience... all before you get to the really scary part!
There's several ways to avoid the lines:
Yes! Our Frightrides are frequently out in the area promoting our events.
Our characters regularly give away discount coupons, flyers, and free tickets
to the Hacker House. If you pass one of them on the road, blow your horn! If
you see the Frightrides stopped, please ask for 'Fright Stuff''. Who knows what
special prizes you may receive!
No, we are serious. We use artificial fog that may cause a reaction
to asthmatics that are sensitive to their environment. The scares
inside will raise your heart rate and blood pressure, and we use
electronic equipment. Strobe lights may trigger an epileptic
response to those prone to seizure. Loud noises are everywhere.
Walk carefully, there may be uneven ground under your feet.
We warn our guests so they can inform us so we can take extra
precautions with their group. We will provide an escort that is an
EMT, Paramedic or First Responder if necessary. They will make
every effort to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable
time.
NOTE: If you are impaired by drinking heavily or drug use, we will not allow you to enter for your own safety and ours.
If we feel you are under the influence of drugs, we may not allow you to enter. However, your pass will be good for another time when you are sober. And if you feel the need to challenge that decision, police officers are on staff to help... And yes, they are real police officers. And please, don't drink and drive!
