Halloween Happenings
By: YEGfoodie
Part haunted house and part escape room, this is the new local offering for the 2017 season. If you look at the different folks involved in this event, it looks like it is going to be a good time. They are open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during October.
October is my favourite time of year for many reasons; there is the beautiful color of the fall leaves on the trees, the crispness in the air, the pumpkin spice everything and of course, Halloween.
In Edmonton, we have some hidden gems for the Halloween season that you really need to go and see. Please read on for some spooky offerings.
"Here in Edmonton stands the old mansion that belonged to Augustina and William McCavery , a building with a mysterious past. The couple kept to themselves, but neighbors often noticed Augustina acting strangely, claimed they saw her "whispering" to the gargoyles that adorned their mansion walls. One day, Augustina and William disappeared....
Now, as perspective buyers, you are invited on a special real-estate tour of what the neighbors have nicknamed "Morbid Manor." Inside, Most of the original furnishings remain, untouched, as most people fear the place is still haunted by Augustina and William. You enter the Mansion foyer, when suddenly your host is gone and the door you came through appears to have vanished. The lights dim, you swear you hear something whisper behind you...is there something else in the room with you? The secrets of the past quickly unveil themselves in dramatic fashion as you rush to escape Morbid Manor!"
This is put on by the folks from Odd-Lot Puppetry, so it should be a great show. Tickets range from $25 to $35 depending on the day of your booking. Tickets are only sold in advance. Maximum size of group per booking is 6. Smaller groups may be put in with another smaller group to max out the number of participants.
