6 Haunts and Ghost Tours in Edmonton This October
October in Edmonton runs the full range of scares, from haunted houses with live actors to paranormal investigations where nobody jumps out at you at all. Some nights are built for shrieking through dark corridors with a group of friends; others are about standing quietly in an old building, flashlight in hand, waiting to see whether anything answers back.
Between those two extremes is plenty of middle ground. Ghost walks wind through some of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, leaning as much on local history as on fright. Horror screenings, seasonal escape rooms and costume parties fill out the calendar for anyone who wants the atmosphere without the adrenaline.
Whether you want to be chased, spooked or simply unsettled, the list below covers this year’s options, so you can pick your level of fear and plan your nights accordingly.

Haunted Houses and Ghost Tours in Edmonton, October 2026
1. Deadmonton | Tickets
Deadmonton is back for year 13, and all three haunts are brand new: Cursed, The Asylum and The Rejects. You go through in groups of six, and each haunt takes 10 to 25 minutes. It runs into November at the old Edmonton Sun building (9300 47 St. NW), wrapping up Nov. 7.
Tickets are $49.99. Park and ride runs from the lot at 9530 49 St. NW.
2. DARK at Fort Edmonton Park | Tickets
Fort Edmonton Park turns into one big Halloween festival after dark. There are four haunts, including one brand-new nightmare, with scare zones linking them, plus food trucks and a live DJ between frights.
Gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the haunts run 7 to 11 p.m. until Oct. 31. General admission is $50 plus fees, and it’s built for older teens and adults.
3. Red Brick Common Ghost Tours | Tickets
Head out to Stony Plain and spend the evening inside the old Red Brick, hearing the stories behind it before you go looking for ghosts yourself. There’s even cheese, wine and tarot cards.
Tours run Oct. 17, 22, 24 and 30 at 7 p.m. at 5411 51 St. in Stony Plain. They’re $20 plus GST, booked by phone at 780-963-2777 or by email at info@redbrickcommon.ca.
4. Fort Edmonton Park Paranormal Experience | Tickets
Nobody’s jumping out at you on this one. Guides trained by Ghost Hunt Alberta take you through the park’s most active buildings at night, and you get to use the Spirit Box and EMF readers yourself.
Pick the 1885 Street Venture or the Fort Featured Investigation through Rowand House. Tours run until Dec. 2 and cost $67. Parking is in Lot K, off the service road.
5. Now! Radio Haunted House | Tickets
Bring a food or cash donation for Edmonton’s Food Bank and you’re in. This year’s haunt, The Harvest of Lost Souls, gets pretty intense, so it isn’t recommended for kids under 10.
