Toronto's Funhouse is an immersive pop-up that showcases the talents of local artists and musicians and for October, the activation is offering a 'Haunting Experience.' Individuals can attend this paranormal event from October 11th until November 2nd. The Haunting Experience will include an immersive, creatively driven environment, boasting several new paranormal twists and a spooky art maze.
The Toronto Funhouse itself has been quite popular with the Millennial crowd who has been looking for all-encompassing and photography-friendly opportunities. In addition, the venue gives the chance for emerging or newly established artists to market their work and highlight their skill.
Set in a haunted hotel, the limited-time Haunting Experience is built on the narrative hook of a secret society that unleashed an evil demon in a ritual gone wrong.
