Canada’s Wonderland ups scare factor with new horror movie attraction

Article content

Canada’s Wonderland’s Halloween Haunt is about to get more terrifying.

The annual frightfest is ramping up the fear factor in its 20th season with a brand-new experience inspired by the The Conjuring and other films in the horror movie franchise.

The Conjuring: Beyond Fear will have guests “navigate iconic scenes” in the interactive attraction where they will encounter entities such as The Nun, The Crooked Man and The Ferryman, according to the press release.

The goal for guests is to “lock Annabelle back in her secure box,” by the end of the 20-minute challenge, which comes at an extra charge.

Halloween Haunt will also feature six haunted mazes, seven immersive scare zones and thrilling night rides.

Another first for the park is that the event will now be included with all park tickets and season passes.

However, haunted mazes will only be accessible to visitors with the purchase of a Haunted Attraction Pass.

As for The Conjuring: Beyond Fear, the attraction is not included with the regular admission or Haunted Attractions Pass, and requires an extra charge.

Canada’s Wonderland has started looking for experienced actors and stunt specialists to join its team for the new experience.
