The Raving Dead

Presented by SWEAT and the Grindstone Theatre Society, the Raving Dead will take over the Pendennis Building on Friday and Saturday with three floors of DJs, interactive art displays, dancers and live VJs.

Costumes are required for the event, and “post-apocalyptic undead” costumes to fit the theme are encouraged.

A $100 prize for best costume will be given out each night.

Tickets start at $38. Dual tickets for the Edmonton Bass Society’s WHISPER Halloween party at the Brighton Block Building are also available.

The Headless Carrot

If you’re looking for something more family-friendly, the Carrot Community Arts Coffee House is holding its Headless Carrot Halloween party from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday.

There will be pumpkin carving, candy bags, Halloween crafts, as well as a hot dog and marshmallow roast.

Admission for the event is free.

Halloween Night Market

The Alberta Aviation Museum will be taken over Friday night for a Halloween Night Market.

There will be more than 85 vendors along with artists and food trucks as well as Trick-or-Treating for kids and adults.

The all-ages event is free and includes a costume contest.

Deadmonton

The Edmonton staple boasts a “premier haunted experience” as 2025 marks its 12th year in operation.

Deadmonton began in a small warehouse building behind MacEwan University and moved to the old Paramount Theatre on Jasper Avenue before moving to its current home in the old Edmonton Sun building.

This year features three experiences: The House of Madame Tortura, Danse Macabre, and Biogen Organics: The Human Experience.

Tickets for Deadmonton, which runs from Sept. 26 to Nov. 8, run from $50 to $100. The experience is recommended for those aged 12 and up.

DARK

While Fort Edmonton Park is closed for the season, the outdoor living history museum is open to deliver some tricks and treats through the month of October.

DARK, deemed “Edmonton’s Halloween festival,” runs from Oct. 3 to Nov. 1.

There are two scare zones, three returning haunts plus one new haunt. There are also local food vendors, spooky tunes and other activities.

Tickets range from $50 to $80, plus tax.

Fort Edmonton Park also hosts paranormal tours, separate from DARK, where you can walk through Firkins House, the Fort, and Rowand House.

The tours, which run from Oct. 5 to Dec. 3, are authentic investigations which use tools and techniques to detect paranormal activity.

Tickets are $67 plus tax.

Both experiences are recommended for people 14 or older.
