A Pittsburgh Haunted House Has a Robot Raccoon, and You Can Meet It for Free

The Halloween robot situation has officially reached raccoons. Hundred Acres Manor, a haunted attraction near Pittsburgh, has a new mechanical creature named CH1PP13 that can roam the grounds instead of waiting in one spot for someone to walk past.

And there is one surprisingly useful detail: the attraction says you do not need a haunted-house ticket to visit the property, explore the Midway and meet him.

The raccoon is a Wicked Makers creation

According to Hundred Acres Manor’s announcement, the attraction teamed up with YouTube creators Wicked Makers to build CH1PP13 for the 2026 Halloween season. The custom creature moves around the property and interacts with guests.

The official photo gives you a pretty good idea of the vibe: a raccoon face, glowing red eyes, exposed mechanical legs and a mouth full of very unfriendly-looking teeth. Cute little trash-panda energy has left the building.

Wicked Makers also shared a behind-the-scenes build video documenting how the robot came together. That is the at-home option if Pennsylvania is nowhere near your Halloween plans.

What is free, and what needs a ticket?

The free part is visiting the property and Midway to meet CH1PP13, as described in the announcement. The haunted-house walk-through is a separate, ticketed attraction.

The official Hundred Acres Manor site lists haunted-house admission starting at $30 per person. That covers five themed sections in a walk-through spanning roughly a mile, with live performers and special effects. Check your date before buying, because the starting price is not a promise for every ticket option.

The attraction is in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Its listed rideshare address is 1 Hundred Acres Drive; the free parking lot is at 30 Corrigan Drive.

Before heading over, check the current operating schedule. The announcement does not give CH1PP13 individual appearance times, so the free-meetup detail should not be read as a guarantee that he will be out every minute.

One more planning note: Hundred Acres Manor says its haunted-house scenes are not recommended for children under 13. A roaming robot with those teeth is worth a look at the photos before deciding who is coming along.
