Screamtastic: A massive Haunted House experience coming to Surrey for Halloween

A new Halloween experience is opening in Metro Vancouver this fall, and it promises to be a real scream for horror fans.

Dreadworks Haunted House is transforming the Cloverdale Fairgrounds into a high-tech “immersive Halloween nightmare” from September 27 to November 3.

The attraction combines technological innovations with live performance actors to build an interactive theatrical experience unlike any other this spooky season.

Guests of The Dreadworks Factor will discover three distinct storylines: Steamboat Willie – Terror on the Mississippi, a psychological horror set on a haunted boat; Tartarus, a terrifying journey through a mythical labyrinth; and Spore Zombies, a spine-chilling scenario at an infected swamp.

Award-winning filmmakers and industry-leading special effects and makeup artists are bringing the horror to life with both indoor and outdoor spaces. Expect to see AR technology, projection light mapping, and sets and soundscapes that will have you questioning what’s real.
