Day 1 of our Zed Haunted House 2026 build got underway this week, and the transformation has officially begun! Like Dr. Frankenstein in his lab, our crew has started to bring Red Deer’s longest-running and scariest haunted attraction to life—piece by spooky piece.

A huge thank you to our friends at Borouge International and the Nova Days of Caring volunteers. Every year, this incredible team swoops in and, by week’s end, our haunted house is stitched together with perfection. It’s always a thrill to work alongside true community partners—people helping people, and making magic (and a little mayhem) happen.

Stay tuned for more eerie progress updates as our creation comes alive for opening night on October 16th. Ready to face your fears? Purchase your tickets for 2026 at this link!
