Halloween Haunt
Scare Tactics:
There’s a lot of ghouls and goblins on the loose at the park, and everywhere visitors turn there seems to be something worse. Try your best to avoid the Clowns At Midnight section of the park. Otherwise you’ll be tortured by circus freaks that still are a little bitter over being left behind after a fire inside the big top. They perform their show nightly and are always looking for some new recruits. New this year is a Midsummer Night’s Scream. It’s a home to a few bitter fairies seeking revenge on humans that messed up their homes.

If you need to take a break from the main attractions in the park or just need to catch you breath, grab a seat at the park’s newest spooky show. At Fangs there will be comedy and music mixed in with the usual scary stuff. We think the seats in the theater will be safe for this performance, but just check around your seat to ensure that nothing is lurking when you’re just trying to take a break.

Where:
The park is located in Vaughan, Ontario just outside of Toronto. Buffalo and Detroit aren’t too far from the park if you’re looking for a Halloween road trip.

2009 Dates:
Dates and hours are pretty simple for this event. If you’re looking to get scared silly just head out to the park on any Friday, Saturday, or Sunday now through November 1. The gates creep open at 7pm and you’ll have to escape before midnight.

Cost:
Be sure to grab your tickets online before heading out to the park to save a few dollars. This year’s adventure will set you back roughly $30 CAD before tax. If you want to add on a dinner buffet, and the park definitely wants you too, that’s an additional $10. Hopefully it’s an unlimited candy buffet, and then it would be definitely worth the cost.

Event Hotel Options:
The park is close enough to Toronto to take in the sights of that city for a couple days, so staying there is one option. If you’re all about the park then you might want to choose some lodging a little closer so that you can hear the screams right from your hotel. If that’s the case choose the Courtyard Toronto Vaughan. It’s a safe Marriott chain choice and it’s near Dave and Busters, Lucky Strike Bowling, and Ikea too. Free WiFi doesn’t hurt either; you’ll need a place to upload your pictures to Flickr.
