You will be frightened!

‘Legends of Horror’ at Casa Loma vows to scare all who dare to enter

- ASHLEIGH-RAE THOMAS STAFF REPORTER

Casa Loma’s annual ‘Legends of Horror’ show wraps up this Halloween weekend.

On the tour, horror fans can see over a dozen scary sets with characters, such as Dracula and Frankenste­in, as well as an historical look at Toronto during the Spanish Flu.

Going through a castle differenti­ates Legends of Horror from other haunted houses, said Nick Di Donato, president of Liberty Entertainm­ent Group.

“The castle, itself, has a 3Dmapping and projection­s. People will see the castle actually freeze over and then burn down. And, when you’re walking through the tunnels, you’re experienci­ng the castle’s history,” Di Donato said.

Organizers are following all necessary COVID-19 protocols, so that a fright is the only thing you leave with. “People go through the tour in a linear fashion, and they are in their own group. We do have a QR code where we’re checking people in so we have their informatio­n. Masks are required throughout the tour inside. And, we do have the proof of vaccinatio­n for our food areas.”

In its final weekend, Legends of Horror is aimed at ages13 and up. There are exit points halfway through should the experience prove too scary. There are tours starting earlier in the evening at 5 p.m., and ones that start after sunset, for a more terrifying experience.
