A Halloween hayride employee is accused of turning opening night into a nightmare for a female coworker — and prosecutors say she was not his only alleged victim.
Pennsylvania prosecutors have described Edward Eisenhard as a “serial sexual predator,” alleging that he targeted two coworkers at separate jobs as well as a 12-year-old girl.
Eisenhard faces charges stemming from all three incidents, including strangulation, aggravated indecent assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion and corruption of minors.
No defense attorney was identified in court dockets reviewed by Oxygen.
“Halloween is the time when we send our little ones out dressed as Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster to trick-or-treat,” Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan said in an Oct. 27 statement. “But unfortunately, some monsters are real and want to do violence to our children and other loved ones.”
The first reported incident occurred Sept. 25 at Valley of Fear in Feasterville, where Eisenhard worked as a supervisor. According to prosecutors, he approached a female employee who was dressed as a pirate.
A criminal complaint obtained by Oxygen alleges that Eisenhard grabbed the woman by the throat and squeezed until she had difficulty breathing. He then reportedly pinned her wrists above her head, made sexually explicit remarks and, after she told him to stop, allegedly assaulted her.
The woman told police that Eisenhard said he would see her later that night. She said she avoided him and left work early.
When another supervisor confronted Eisenhard, he reportedly appeared upset but did not deny the allegations, according to the complaint. He said he may have misinterpreted the encounter and claimed that he and the woman had flirted previously.
Eisenhard was dismissed from the job the next day. Prosecutors, however, allege that the conduct continued elsewhere.
On Sept. 27, Eisenhard allegedly assaulted a 19-year-old employee at the Five Below store in Hilltown Township, where he also worked as a manager, according to a separate criminal complaint obtained by Oxygen.
The teenager told investigators that Eisenhard directed her to clean the stockroom before making sexual comments, pinning her arms above her head and pressing her against a wall. He allegedly assaulted her until a cashier called over the store radio, prompting him to stop, according to the complaint.
The alleged victim said Eisenhard told her, “You could have said no at any point, if you did not want anything.” He also allegedly warned her, “What happens on Sunday night shifts stays on Sunday night shifts.”
The following day, the district attorney’s office monitored a phone call between Eisenhard and the 19-year-old. During the conversation, he allegedly apologized.
“I thought you were flirting with me,” he allegedly said. “And I read that wrong.”
Eisenhard was arrested Oct. 1. While he remained in custody, prosecutors filed additional charges accusing him of assaulting a 12-year-old girl.
The girl reported that Eisenhard assaulted her at least twice while she was sleeping at his home between Dec. 24, 2025, and Oct. 1, 2026. The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said he had access to her “because of his relationship with her family.”
Court hearings in the three cases are scheduled for Nov. 9, Nov. 17 and Nov. 18.
