Haunted Calgary
Haunted Calgary has been a staple for over 30 years, and this season it’s haunting the historic grounds of Heritage Park. The setup is huge, with different scare zones so you can pick your poison: green for the kids, yellow if you like some jump scares, or full red-zone terror if you’re ready to run. It’s creepy, community-driven, and one of the most immersive Halloween nights in the city.
Location: Heritage Park
Ages: All ages (scare levels from mild to extreme)

ScreamFest at Stampede Park
If you want the biggest Halloween party in Calgary, this is it. ScreamFest takes over GMC Stadium with six outdoor haunted houses — The Dollhouse, Slaughterhouse, Clown Town, The Clinic, Bates Motel, and Afraid of the Dark. For the bravest of the brave, Zombie Outbreak is back and it’s the only one where actors actually grab you (waiver required). There are also midway games, rides, axe throwing, and plenty of food trucks. Pro tip: Adults-Only Night on October 23 is not for the faint of heart.
Location: Stampede Park
Ages: 13+ (or at parents’ discretion)

Nightmare Creations
Run by a dedicated group of horror fans, Nightmare Creations is all about creativity and jump scares with a purpose. Every year they build new sets and storylines, and this season they’re setting up at Lions Campground in Okotoks. Bonus: proceeds help support local causes, so you can scream your lungs out and feel good about it too.

Field of Screams at Cobb’s Adventure Park
If you thought Cobb’s Adventure Park was just about kangaroos and family days, think again. When night falls, it turns into Field of Screams, a sprawling setup with six themed haunts: Buried Alive, Haunted Mansion, Mad House, Scary Tales, Aliens, and Death Trap. It’s intense, it’s creepy, and yes, there are special adults-only nights if you want the extra-scary version.
Location: Cobb’s Adventure Park
Ages: Recommended for teens and adults
