Pittsburgh Haunted House Debuts Robotic Raccoon for Halloween

A robotic raccoon named CH1PP13 is patrolling the grounds of Hundred Acres Manor this season, marking a shift from stationary animatronics to mobile, interactive horror. Developed by YouTube creators Wicked Makers, the creature roams the Bethel Park attraction to deliver unpredictable encounters to unsuspecting guests throughout the property.

Traditional jump scares rely on predictable timing and fixed locations, but CH1PP13 introduces a layer of mobility that challenges that standard. The collaboration between the Pennsylvania-based attraction and the YouTube duo—known for their massive following of over 2 million subscribers—aims to blur the line between engineering and immersive theater. The robot was designed specifically for the manor’s mile-long walk-through experience, where its presence is intended to keep visitors on edge.

Beyond the novelty of the build, the project serves as a showcase for the Wicked Makers' craftsmanship, with a dedicated documentary video detailing the construction process behind the animatronic. For local fans, the creature is accessible even without a ticket to the main haunted attractions, as it roams the property's Midway area. The introduction of the robot aligns with the manor's efforts to blend high-tech special effects with their established five-themed haunt structure in Bethel Park.
