It's Bobaween. I think we found the spot.
We're here in Coatesville. Good morning. How are you?
We're live on Fox. Good morning.
You must be the greeting committee. Welcome. Okay. All right.
We are at Venziel Manor. Okay.
We're going to take you through this haunted mansion here coming up
during this 8 o'clock hour.
Dracula's waiting for us out front.
I think he wants some blood.
We only got a fresh cup of coffee.
That's all we got for him.
But today, look at this.
They got a graveyard on the front lawn.
Jason and Alex, I don't know.
Jared, why don't you go in and check it out first?
No, no.
You go in and check.
No.
I'll stay in the news then.
Listen, the sun is up.
You guys should be able to get out there.
Wow.
No, I'll stay in the news van.
to keep everything safe and locked up.
It's Bobaween at a family-run haunted house in Chester County.
So he's taking us on this live tour
of this manor that's in Coatesville.
Yeah, gang, good morning, everybody.
When we were coming here,
I thought I was going to go to some old-school farmhouse,
but we're actually in somebody's house.
Joe, good morning. How are you?
Good morning. I'm good.
Benzie, I'm doing it for five years.
Yeah, five years now.
We pulled into the cul-de-sac.
We just came to the graveyard.
We're now on the inside.
This first thing, I guess, is right here.
Try me.
So you guys actually live here
and turn this into a full-time Halloween house.
Yeah, that's right.
So the upstairs is just our normal house,
and then in the basement, it gets quite dark.
We have a full haunted attraction.
Come on, Jared.
We voted you to go first.
Yeah, you go first.
So tell me, how many nights a week do you do this?
So we are open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
We're not open on Halloween,
but we have two days left where you can come see us.
And we've got about 30 live actors ready for you.
Yeah, you go first.
This is Minerva.
What's her name?
This is Minerva.
Hello, Minerva.
Welcome to Venziel Manor, mortals.
It is lovely to see you this morning.
Good morning.
We are positively delighted to have you here at the Venziel Manor.
Now, my friends are anxiously awaiting your arrival.
Are you ready for them?
Yeah, go ahead, Jared.
You go first.
Check this out, so we're downstairs where
are we going? We're going right in with my friends
Yes, I have many friends
that are anxiously awaiting to see you this morning

your luggage in the next. My sincerest apologies
if you hurry along, it'll show you tomorrow. Oh my gosh, here

for you if you have any. All right, we're going to keep
on moving. Watch Jared duck down for the camera light
there. Benzie Al Manor, this is unbelievable. You guys must have
a lot of fun. It's only one way in
that's it, we're in the basement. We're going
into our elevator simulation. Oh, you'll just stay put
Oh, cool.
Check this out, because this is like the elevator
Yeah.
So go ahead and step in, and it's a whole automated system.
Well, hold on.
Are you coming with us?
I'll come with you.
Okay, all right.
Okay, hold on.
I'll spray it here.
All right, so here's what we're going to do.
We're going to have to go to, come on.
We're going to have to toss back.
So we're going to close the elevator door.
What floor are we going to?
We're going to the 13th floor.
Oh, the 13th.
Is it really?
There's a 13th.
Hit the button.
Yeah, there we go.
Hit the button.
Alex and Jason.
Oh, I feel it.
It's vibrating.
We're going up, we're going up, it's a tight space, hold on,
oh no, something's going to pop out, oh boy, uh oh,
we're going up, here we go, this is unbelievable, this is great,
this is for the first time, we didn't have a chance
to go through it before, I got a little brown spot in my underwear,
oh my gosh, mom, I need to know that, but once we finish up,
too many jelly donuts, we're going to keep on going,
stay with us all morning long, it's Boboween,
I want to know what's happening when they lay in the elevator.
Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah, that doesn't look good.
We're now in the hotel.
Okay, we made it.
Oh, there's the queen.
Oh, she needs help.
She needs a little something.
Have you seen Bob's face?
This is great.
I'm having so much fun.
Yeah, well, I grabbed my butt out the back door.
The Benzial Manor right here we just showed you the last hour,
it's actually Joe's home,
and they convert their home into the haunted house.
So that's the manor.
And then look out here.
They built a whole big shed in the backyard the sanitarium.
Yeah, so this is the Whispering Grass Sanitarium. Come on George
George George you go first
Still
No, no traffic reporters were harmed in the filming
of this segment maybe too soon to say
I'm getting my eyes checked here part
of a part of one of the many areas inside
here now I'm going to get
my teeth cleaned coming up next something like that
well yeah they told me to sit in a chair
this one's better than the chair that
they had straps around getting
my eyes checked here things have been a little
a little blurry I think we'll have
to carve them out what do you think a car
Oh, well, yeah, I'll come back for that.
Let me make an appointment for next week.
Joe, how are you?
I'm good. How are you doing, Bob?
Good. How about you?
That's right. We're here.
How old are you, first of all?
I'm 17.
17, man. I love it.
So this is a walk-through attraction.
We started inside your actual house.
This is a barn that you built on your property.
I just had my eyes checked.
How about the dental office?
All right, yeah, let's go get your teeth checked next, right this way.
Tell me the nary portion here.
We've got a doctor and a nurse waiting for you.
George, you go first.
Give me the tape!
Give that to me!
So, let me...
If you don't want to get crazy scary, you can put on a glow stick.
That's correct.
So, yeah, we appeal to people of all ages.
We have the glow stick policy we do here.
So, if you're a little bit...
You get that glow stick on and you're good to go.
Oh, what is going on here?
The operating room.
yeah so this is a good thing i am a little late oh you got
to clean the sink up a little bit here
why are you still awake so we have two days
to enjoy the fun friday night they do are not going
to be open on sat george right here oh
busy friday night whatever happens yeah
so friday we are open
from 7 to 9 p.m and then we're the same hours
on sunday night for our extreme blackout event
Extreme blackout, so tell me about that. How does that work
so that we're going to turn all the lights down and it's going to be a
more intense
Oh my God, this is our padded room.
This is where the the craziest members of the asylum hang out
Like the lunch room at Fox
Come on here. This guy. What is this here?
This looks like a failed experiment here at the asylum
This is slink. What's his name? This is slink. Oh, hey slink.
Yeah, you don't wanna you don't want to encounter slink
All right, well, let's go around Slink.
Let's pass him on the right or the left, whatever, all the way out.
And there's the exit sign.
How long does it normally take to walk through the event?
So this is about a 5- to 10-minute walkthrough.
It depends on how quickly you want to get out.
We made it out! We made it out!
So there's the home, Venziel Manor, right there.
It's his private home right here that your mom
and dad allowed you to kind of convert into this Venziel Manor.
You built this shed on the back.
This is fantastic.
Now, what's the admission?
And tell me about the good part about the admission.
So you get a $12 admission.
You get to go through the cemetery, the hotel, and the asylum.
All in all, it's about a 20-minute experience.
And then a lot of the proceeds
from this event benefit the Spirit of Children,
which works with Nemours Children's
Hospital and their Child Life Program.
So what we're doing here is not only bringing
the spirit of Halloween to life,
but it's also benefiting Nemours Children's Hospital
and their Child Life Program.
For folks that are watching at home,
how can we find out more to come here this weekend?
Yeah, so you can find us at vmhaunts.com,
and we will be open this Friday and Sunday.
We're not open Halloween, but we'd love
to have you out for our last two nights of operation.
And I've got to say thank you to the scare team.
You guys did a great job.
Thank you so much.
This is great.
Coachville, I've never seen anything like this, gang.
Yeah, we've been to haunted houses,
but not somebody's actual house that they've turned into the manor.
And then to build an entire second section.
This is great, man.
Coatesville to spot the B, Friday night and Sunday.
And from all of us here, happy Halloween.
Happy Halloween.
