Toronto Halloween Events in 2026: Where to Party and Play this Spooky Season
Updated: September 2026.
For me and my friends, Halloween is a very big deal each year. From coordinating group costumes, to finding parties and other cute activities, we start planning early. And by early, I mean we’ve been planning since August.
If you’re anything like us, you must realize Halloween is an especially big deal this year, being that it’s on a Saturday! I don’t know about you, but I plan to be outside all Halloweekend, and celebrating the whole month of October.
For those of you who aren’t as tapped in to Halloween, and don’t even know where to start, I’ve got you covered as a self-proclaimed Halloween expert. All you need to do is pick: Cute, Creepy, or Cozy?

Creepy Halloween Events in Toronto 2026
Are you a thrill-seeker? An adrenaline junkie? Here are some events that might just satiate your need to scream.
Haunted Walk
From a general walk of Toronto’s haunted places, to an in-depth discovery of University of Toronto’s biggest spectral secrets, there’s something for everyone here. I find that this is a great option for a date or group activity!
Check out their website to learn more about Haunted Walk and book tickets.
Screemers
A bit further away from HOEM, situated just over an hour away on the TTC, is this all-in-one scarefest. Complete with seven different haunted mazes and over 120 live scare actors, it will surely scare your socks off!
To find out more, visit the Screemers website.
Halloween Haunt at Canada’s Wonderland
Personally, this has to be the Halloween activity I’m the most excited for. If you’re a rollercoaster fan like myself, you have to check this out. However, even if you’re a bit scared of rollercoasters, there’s still plenty to do during the Halloween Haunt. You can expect scare actors throughout the park, plenty of haunted mazes and houses, and thrilling night rides if you’re willing to brave it.
For more information, visit the Canada’s Wonderland website.
Creepy Costume Ideas
- Black Swan
- Coraline characters (the ‘other parents’ are a great cute and creepy couples costume!)
- Jennifer’s Body
- Maxine or Pearl for a horror look
- Group of skeletons (slight nod to the 1984 Karate Kid film)

Catch a Movie at The Revue
One of Toronto’s oldest working movie theatres, located at 400 Roncesvalles Avenue, is showing horror movies all throughout the month of October. Grab a friend, wear your favourite spooky PJ’s, and get ready to be spooked!
You can find showtimes and tickets at The Revue .
