LINCOLN MILL HAUNTED HOUSE / A Twisted Christmas

In German Christmas tradition, Krampus punishes naughty children by whipping them or dragging them to the underworld. For Lincoln Mill, the story’s villain, Viktor Kane, was inspired by the story of Krampus. This new holiday attraction tells the story of when and how Kane punished his naughty workers by luring them to and trapping them in the Lincoln Mill basement. Kane sees himself as a dark Santa Claus and he programs his naughty mill workers into his elves so they can do his dirty work for him.

A Twisted Christmas follows the largest Halloween season ever for Lincoln Mill Haunted House, as well as successful haunts for Valentine’s Day and for Halfway to Halloween.
