Halloween in
Vancouver
|
 Vancouver has many wonderful Halloween Attractions to
visit during the Halloween season. Some are "Family Friendly" while others are
extremely spooky !
The attractions range from Corn Mazes and Pumpkin Patches to Horror
Labyrinths, Haunted Houses, to a large amusement park with multiple
attractions to visit. Many of the scary attractions will offer a "Lights
On" hour at the beginning of the night for the very young or for those
who frighten easily.
Halloween is an important fundraising event so you may also find that
many of the "Haunts" will offer a ticket discount incentive if you bring
a food donation. So check before you go and please bring the requested
donation, many people depend on it .

Reapers Haunted Attraction
|
|
Located on
Gibson Rd. in Chilliwack B.C.
 Lisa and Gary Moran
affectionately refer to their visitors as victims.
The Morans are the brains behind the Reapers Haunted Attraction. Which initially
started to keep their own and neighborhood children involved in a constructive
activity. Over the past decade they have been told that their Halloween themed
attraction rivals scare houses at Disneyland and other professional
entertainment parks in the United States and Canada. It's high praise they are
proud of and each year strive to uphold and improve upon.
Each haunting season they wait for unsuspecting prey to enter their lair of
terror. I have been there on nights when the screaming is so loud I found myself
jumping just waiting in line for a ghoul dog at the concession. What makes this
attraction so freaky compared to others, one I think the crew behind Reapers are
(demented) and the set designs they have come up with are awesome. Both the
Moran boys, James and Dave, get a kick out of scaring adults to the point where
they are screaming like little kids. Now there is a whole crew of Halloween
enthusiast's that come out and volunteer their time and help to build on this
event and the Moran's are overwhelmed with their commitment and they make this
event what it is.
So if you are looking for a real scare and have the guts, we will make sure you
get the scare you deserve. Reapers is not recommended for children under 8 years
of age at night, but see our special daytime Boo tours.
So I suggest you take the time to make the long journey to the Valley from what
I've heard it is a must for Halloween fiends.
