Looking For A Thrill This Halloween?

Jeremy Hollywood | Oct 01, 2015

As the more leaves fall from the trees, the night of Halloween quickly approaches, and soon the dead will again be free to return to the earth for that creepy night of the year. For many this means inventive costumes, spooky decorations, buckets and bags filled to brim with candy and a night of trick-or-treating door to door. But for those craving a more fitting experience, a scare through a haunted house or barn can be just the thrill they need.

Located in Sydenham at 2932 on Rutledge Road, just down from the high school. Is the fifth year for a Haunted Barn that has been providing a fright for haunters on the eerie night with a new theme each season. Held Halloween night from 6-9:30 - Previous displays have included a Zombie Wedding, Gates of Hell, and Sloats Landing Asylum. With a cast of up to twenty, and an attendance of around three-hundred, this holidays fright is yet to be witnessed. While not recommended for children under the age of six, monetary or food donations will go to Southern Frontenac SFCSC. You can check it out on facebook @ Haunted Barn Sydenham. Beware of the chainsaw clutching clowns as you try to ignore the screams of the helpless victims.

Regrettably, the Haunted Walk hosted by Peter Hollywood and Hazel Lee on Halloween night will not be held in Verona this coming season, but will rather have a grander location in Kingston. Starting small fixed up in a house, creating most of the decorations themselves. The Haunting hosts spent nearly every spare moment investing in their production this fall. Looking for a more ambitious project as they mark the 9th year for the conjoined passion, they invite all those who have braved the feat in the past to seek out their new venue. Titled Peter's Creepers Halloween Scream for those 14 and up, and any of those under the age accompanied by a guardian. An admission of 5 dollars will go to Corus Entertainment's Clothes for Kids, and what's more is an offer to get photographed during the experience. As for the younger crowd, a more imaginative scene titled Witch Hazel's Little Shop of Horrors will rate at 2 dollars whose proceeds will likewise go to Corus Entertainment's Clothes for Kids. With months of preparation, and a stimulus of fears, it is surely a terror to be explored.

The haunted hours for the Frontenac Mall are: Saturday, October 24th from 11am to 5pm. Sunday October 25th 11am to 4pm. Wednesday October 28th 4pm to 9pm. Thursday October 29th 4pm to 9pm. Friday October 30th 4pm to 9pm. Saturday October 31st 10am to 5pm
