Yet come October, watch this beloved attraction transform over night from a cheerful park to a land of menacing monsters and ghastly ghosts. All of the summer\u2019s rides are still open, but are now accompanied by a variety of frightful activities&nbsp;including&nbsp;terrifying mazes and haunted houses. Yet the scariest part of the entire park is not the number of designated \u201cscare zones\u201d, but instead the park\u2019s employees, who, dressed as clowns, mental patients, and other fearful characters, chase and terrorize guests.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/screamfest.ca\/\"><strong><u>Screamfest \u2013 Calgary, Alberta<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Are you brave enough to walk among zombies, ghouls, and demons for the night? Advertised as Canada\u2019s largest and scariest Halloween event, Screamfest is not for the faint of heart. The frightening festival boasts a multitude of activities and attractions, from haunted houses, carnival events, live entertainment and more. Some of their more notable events include Zombie Paint-ball, a game which puts a terrifying twist on traditional paint balling by featuring moving zombies as the targets, and Coffin Ride, a ride that offers&nbsp;the sensation of being buried alive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pc.gc.ca\/eng\/lhn-nhs\/bc\/langley\/index.aspx\"><strong><u>Fort Langley\u2019s Grave Tales \u2013 Vancouver, British Columbia<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fort Langley was once the site where Hudson\u2019s Bay Company fur traders negotiated with British Columbia\u2019s indigenous people. Today, its rich history is protected&nbsp;in the form of a national historic site, with many key buildings from the 1800s preserved. Inspired by the number of ghost stories that circle the village, Parks Canada created the Grave Tales Walking Tour. Starting mid-October, visitors can follow guided walks of Fort Langley that place an emphasis on the paranormal. If you\u2019re a firm naysayer of all things supernatural, you may be interested to know that all of the ghosts you hear of at Grave Tales have been seen or felt by at least four local residents. With a variety of paths aimed at different age groups, this attraction is perfect for families and adult thrill-seekers alike.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hauntedmontreal.com\/\"><strong><u>Haunted Montreal Ghost Tours \u2013 Montreal, Quebec<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the day, downtown Montreal is a bustling metropolis filled with business people.
