You can scare yourselves silly this Halloween with a number of creative, creepy, and chilling haunted house experiences in Alberta.
And no two experiences are the same. Each of these haunted houses (or haunted fields, corn mazes, trains, and more) offers unique way of delivering on the thrills and chills, and they do so by playing off our biggest fears. You may encounter zombies, ghost children, deranged killers, or maybe even some things you can’t see.
Some haunted experiences are meant to scare adults but are open to older children and teens. However, some cater to the younger crowd by offering a less intense Halloween haunt.
Most haunted houses don’t have strict age restrictions but rather recommendations. Each haunted house or experience is clear on what level of scare they intend to bring their guests.
