Gastown, Vancouver’s historic district, is known for its cobblestone streets, vintage shops, and vibrant nightlife. But this year, the neighborhood is adding a new twist: a terrifying haunted house experience that’s sure to send shivers down your spine.
Playland will transform into a haunted amusement park once again, inviting horror-loving thrill-seekers to peruse the spooky grounds within.
Filled with creepy decorations, roaming monsters, eight haunted houses, and over 15 hair-raising rides, Fright Nights at Playland returns on select nights starting Oct. 6.
Each night, a chilling “Opening Scaremony” will take place at the amusement park entrance. At 6 p.m., Venom and Coco will open the festival gates and let fog and creepy cast members roll out into the crowd.
Inside, locals can relive the terrors hidden inside the amusement park’s eight haunted houses, and experience a brand new horror inside a brand new haunted addition.
Dubbed “one of the scariest haunted houses in Fright Nights history,” The Void is a lush and beautiful Pacific Northwest forest with a monstrous secret. Within the thick grove are the Howling Caves and many people, coincidentally, go missing along the trails near the caves. Venture into these woods at your own risk.
The highly anticipated Carn-Evil will also return to the festival grounds this year, bringing the most terrifying clown nightmares to life. Inside this creepy haunted house clowns are humanoid creatures who live in the sewers below and multiply and grow when they encounter radioactive toxic waste.
Thrill-seekers can explore eight haunted houses at Fright Nights:
- The Void
- Carn-Evil
- Darkness
- Fear
- Materia Medica
- Keepers Doll Factory
- Haunted Mansion
- Bloodshed
General Admission includes unlimited access to all haunted houses, shows, and rides. Ticket prices start at $30 between Oct. 6 and 8, $47 between Oct. 13 and 15, and $57 between Oct. 18 and 31.
An Early Access Pass, which includes an expedited line for park entry and early access to The Void, Keepers Doll Factory, and Darkness, can be purchased for an additional $20.
Tickets must be purchased for a specific date and due to overwhelming demand, Fright Nights will be putting a cap on the number of tickets sold per day.
Guests are not permitted to wear costumes or costume face make-up.
