All I can say is: WOW. This haunted house is freaken crazy! Sooo well done. We're not talking about gay pop-up ghosts or eyeball grapes here... this house is stocked with the most amazing, movie-quality props I've ever seen. I was beyond impressed with everything. The theme this year is " History of Terror". The tour takes you through the Hillbilly Slaughter House, the Renaissance, the Plague, Apocalypse Now, etc.
Had it not been for the long ass line behind me, I'd like to linger through the rooms and take my time admiring their work. Word of advice: come early! Expect a long wait, dress for cold and rain, bring a thermos filled with hot chocolate & Baileys, and last but not least: donate donate donate!
Major props goes to the Dunbar Haunted House!! -

These people go to some serious Halloween extreme to open their house for this seasonal event. I can't even imagine how many hours it takes for them to put all of the lights, smoke machines, and decorations to get this place ready.
This is pretty much the best haunted house in Vancouver, and all of the proceeds go to charity, so the people who live here put this on by donating all of their time and effort for FREE. That is passion for Halloween, and you can tell they love this holiday more than anything. I visited the house last year on a cold day a few weeks prior to Halloween so there was literally no lineup, because I had heard that the closer it gets to Halloween the crazier the lines get.
Do yourself a favour, and pile up the car with the kids and take them to this house and watch them cry their hearts out. They'll thank you in the end, after you change their underpants.Listed in: Best of the best, Tips from the Halloween Queen

I went on Wednesday night and I'm going again tonight.
What an amazing haunted house! The volunteers, actors and decorations are all top notch. They work really hard to keep everyone safe and entertained.
It's a scary haunted house, so if you're a chicken shit or you have kids I would go before 6:30.
They accept donations for the Christmas Bureau and the Fighter Fighters Fund but when I was there on Wednesday I saw many, many people pass by the collection boxes without even giving some spare change. C'mon people! -

This is a must to-do things of Halloween in Vancouver.
After reaing about it in the local newspaper, I had to check it out.
Their website had some pretty interesting pics and videos.
It is not a business actually, Entry is free and donations are accepted to benefit numerous local charities like Vancouver Burns Fund and VPD etc last year they raised 30,000$ . This is arranged in their own home and is quite an undertaking.
So i went today and the Lineup was HUGE in pouring rain !! we had to queue up for almost an hour, while some nasty Ghouls, evil clowns and dead monstosities kept visiting us to keep things Alive... huh? talk about Irony :P
But the heavy rain didnt dampen the people's spirits as the queue was almost a block long. Inside the haunts were really well laid out and played by the actors. Live actors are from 6:30Pm onwards. Runs from October 15th - October 31st
Cant imagine there isnt a Ticket to this even as the 10 minute ride is well worth the penny. Make sure to leave some donation for the charity as that is the sole reason, the organisers spend so much effort into arranging and making this house haunted. Wish the weather was nicer but no complaints against any of those ugly zombies or what nots for making everyone scream like scared little girls.
