FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
There’s nothing like a haunted house to get you in the spirit of Halloween.
The anticipation, the shivers, the decorations, and of course, the moment when someone (or something) pops out at you, drawing a jolted scream of terror – only to walk out and laugh (or cry) with your friends shortly after.
To help you get your scare on, we’ve assembled a list of some of the best-haunted houses across Metro Vancouver and the lower mainland.
