Event Details

The favourite all-ages Halloween attraction is back with the all-new haunted house, “Death Valley Motor Inn,” and much more

Surrey, BC Potter’s House of Horrors — one of the Lower Mainland’s largest and most-loved Halloween attractions — will soon be returning for its 17th year of family-friendly frights and fun. Better still… it’s coming back Oct 4. through Nov. 2.

No ordinary haunted house, Potter’s House of Horrors is more of a live theatre attraction, complete with trained actors just dying to scare guests! The “scare crew” at Potter’s spends months planning this annual maze of terror — complete with the latest high-tech animatronics and digital sounds.

Family Hour and a special “Li’l Haunters” attraction (for children 12 and under) ensure everyone can be part of the fun. Partial proceeds go to Critter Care Wildlife Society. Potter’s House of Horrors is also proud to support the Surrey Food Bank and will be accepting non-perishable food donations onsite.

This year, Potter’s House of Horrors includes:

Death Valley Motor Inn (NEW FOR 2019): More than a haunted house, this is the sort of dusty old desert motel that nightmares are made of! Shadowy figures roam the hallways, searching for their next victim, while the old man behind the counter seems oddly unconcerned. And what’s behind all those doors, anyway?! It’s said that guests check in, but rarely do they check out.
Devil’s Descent Haunted House: A terrifying vortex of rotted wood, rickety mineshafts, punishing industrial machines, monsters and zombies. And the Potter’s “chicken counter” is sure to rack up a ton of “bok-boks” when people run screaming out of the exits.
Li’L Haunters: A kids-only attraction with two mini haunted houses that aren’t too dark or scary, containing no animatronics or actors. The first house, Mystic Village, includes a slightly creepy ghost town that sets the tone for the fun to follow at the second house, Spooky Castle. Other neat stuff includes a basketball/baseball toss, and table games such as air hockey and foosball. Children 2 & under and parents/guardians are always admitted free. Braver kids may want to check out Family Hour at Potter’s House of Horrors, recommended for children ages 12 and up.

Plus…

Escape from Incineration: Attendees have 20 minutes to escape a “burning” building, complete with smoke effects and annoying neighbours. Tickets available online.
Haunted Photo Booth: Get four freakish photos sent directly to your phone or email, complete with fun green-screen effects.
The Last Ride: Experience what it’s like to be enclosed in a coffin and whisked away to a ghostly graveyard — complete with sound effects.
Xtreme Paintball Haunted Shootout: Shoot 50 rounds at haunted props and spooky animatronics.
Creep’s Concession: Including neon cotton candy, theatre-style popcorn, “haunted” hot dogs, and more.

About Potter’s House of Horrors

Every fall, Potter’s Farm & Nursery staff converts the grounds from an enjoyable, plant-filled garden centre into a maze of terror, with all the latest animatronics, digital sounds, high-tech scares and trained actors to put on a fun and scary event that sends chills down the spine of all those who enter.

Entering season 17 of our horrifically awesome event, the crew at Potter’s is more enthusiastic than ever to try to make you scream, whimper, cry, holler, yodel, laugh, gargle, giggle and guffaw! Whatever your reaction, Potter’s House of Horrors is dedicated to giving patrons a frighteningly creepy and monstrously enjoyable time this Halloween season.

Check Out ‘Spooktober’ at Vancouver TheatreSports™

October 22-31 at The Improv Centre

Tickets at www.vtsl.com

(Vancouver, B.C.) – Whether it’s with a group of ‘ghoulfriends’ getting together for a night out or a romantic date, Vancouver TheatreSports™ (VTS) dares you to laugh this October with its spirited lineup of Halloween-themed shows taking place Tuesday, October 22 to Thursday, October 31 at The Improv Centre on Granville Island.

Aptly named Spooktober, this limited-run, seasonal celebration of all things eerie features three different shows and a very special event you’ll be dying to attend.

Monster Matches | October 22, 23, 29, 30 at 7:30pm; and October 25 at 9:30 pm

Monster Matches pits teams of monsters against one another in a series of ‘head-to-headless’ short-form scenarios to see who ‘eeeks’ out the most laughs. Will the werewolves defeat the witches or zombies overcome the vampires? In this fast-paced ‘roller-ghoster’, the winner is determined by audience judges.

Cult Fiction – Everyone Laugh Together | October 24, 25, and October 31-November 2 at 7:30 pm

Cult Fiction – Everyone Laugh Together is framed as a documentary. Hosted by an investigative journalist, the players utilize audience suggestions to spin a ‘spell-binding’ tale behind the cult, including the core cult belief and some of its unique traits. The more ridiculous the suggestions, the more inventive the action and the louder the laughter.

Kreepy Kitty | October 24 & 31 at 9:15pm; and October 26 at 11:15pm

Kreepy Kitty sees the action of the show directed by an evil kitty from its window perch. This is one ‘fur-midable’ feline with plenty of ‘cat-titude’ whose ‘claw-ver’ commands lead to plenty of comedic ‘hiss-terics’.

Ticket prices for Monster Matches, Cult Fiction, and Kreepy Kitty start at $10.75 and are available now online at www.vtsl.com.

In addition to the performances above, VTS presents the following special event:

Halloween Howl Special Event | Saturday, October 26 | 7:30-10:30 pm

The evening features costumed performers in two head-to-headless TheatreSports matches where all but the most cunning ghoul will perish. VTS guests can also shake their bones to the bloodcurdling beats of a DJ at the ‘Danse Macabre’ and have their palm read by ‘Madame Improvo’ or visit ‘Poe Corner’ where the spectre of a long-dead poet will spellbind with improvised ‘POEms’ that even The Raven would find beguiling. Mix and mingle with ‘Denizens of the Dark’ (roving performers) who’ll delight with their tricky antics. Prizes will be awarded for best costumes.

Tickets for Halloween Howl are $34.95 and available at www.vtsl.com.

During the 10 days of Spooktober, The Improv Centre is transformed with ‘haunt-ng’ décor into an eerie sepulchre worthy of any Demon or night-loving Vampire. You’ll also find ‘spooktacular’ specials on potions and poisons at VTS’ Neil Macrae Bar and Lounge. This is one instance where you’ll want to drink the ‘Killer Kool-Aid’ (vodka, amaretto, cranberry juice) or indulge your inner ghoul by imbibing a dark purple ‘Creepy Kitty’ (vodka, blue curacao, cranberry juice, margarita mix).

Give your ‘funny bones’ a shake and treat yourself to a night of ‘unboolievably’ hilarious improv comedy at Vancouver TheatreSports’ Spooktober.
