Lots of Pittsburghers love a haunted house, but getting spooked doesn't excuse bad behavior. Host Megan Harris is with three leaders of the Pittsburgh Haunters Club — Dave Archer, Stacey Federoff, and Allie Lampman-Sims — and they're all sharing etiquette tips and best practices so you get the most of your haunt experience, all without stepping on the toes of the actors. Plus, they've got recommendations for nearby haunted attractions for hardcore horror fans, scaredy cats, and everyone in between.

Check out more Halloween fun (and scares!) on our website, and learn about upcoming ghoulish gatherings with the Pittsburgh Haunters Club.
