Happy Halloween 2018!!!!!

The big day is finally here.  After months of work and a year of planning it's our version of Christmas!...What's This?  Halloween at Christmas?  You bet!

Our display is up and we look forward to seeing everyone stop by.  Don't forget to bring some cash and make a donation.  All monies go to the Canadian Red Cross - Saskatchewan division for Anti-bullying education program.

Our address again is:  923 Avenue X North in the Mount Royal Neighborhood

And tonight we will be hosting a brief livestream starting at 6PM on facebook.  For those who can't attend in person we will give you a little tour of the display and talk a little bit about our build this year.

Happy Halloween all!

Halloween week is here!

We've had a great couple of days so far with our new yard display up and we look forward to having many more people drive by and to take a look at our display.  Here's the details.


Please take a look at our facebook page located here...It has new pictures released each day and videos will be coming soon.

Also the Saskatoon Starphoenix recently published that our display is a haunted house walk-through.  This information is incorrect.  For the last 10 years our display has been strictly a yard display that is viewable from the sidewalk.

Happy Friday Night Frights to all!

What’s this? Halloween in July and August?


While everyone else has been at the lake we have been working away.  This year brings something we are really excited about: We are working on an entirely new façade for Saskatoon Halloween House! A new façade means we are pulling out the tools, a trailer full of wood, paint, and whatever else we can find to create something different.  Don’t worry-the castle isn’t going anywhere but it may be awhile before it comes out again.

We can’t give away too many details but here’s a peek:

Sometimes Halloween means using all your muscles.


 So Many Panels!

Working away to finish before October.

Halloween Weekend & Saskatchewan Haunt Finder

Halloween weekend is here and it's only a couple of days until October 31st.  We've been having a lot of visitors coming by to see the display and it's only expected to get busier as we get closer to Halloween.  Look for some more pictures to be added in the next few days too!

We also wanted to share that we're listed on the Saskatchewan Haunt finder at http://saskatchewanhauntfinder.ca/  This is a great listing of some of the places throughout Saskatchewan that also have scary displays and walkthroughs.

Setup 2017 and the winds of Saskatoon

On the Thanksgiving weekend we spent about 6 hours and once again hid a house and built a castle for Halloween.  With a few friends and some extra hands we followed our plans and just like playing with Lego we built our castle.


It take a lot of time to ensure that every section of the castle is properly attached.  Sandbags, wooden bracing and metal straps are all used to ensure that everything stays in place.  On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning Saskatoon had winds up to 113KM per hour.  The best news is this picture above was taken Wednesday evening and everything stayed in place.  It may actually be wood, but it's as strong as stone.

A new piece of our display has been made and it's a beauty isn't it?
We look forward to having everyone see it starting on the 24th of October and continuing on though Halloween night.

The last few months

Hello and welcome back to our Halloween blog for 2016
We've been working hard for the last few months, making new props and working on our new theme for this year.


Saskatoon Halloween House would like to present...A MAGICAL HALLOWEEN.


This magical theme will bring some of our favorite characters and props from our favorite "The boy who lived" series. We hope that you will come by on Halloween night or drive by our display in the evening starting on October 24th.

Here are some small sneak peaks at what is to come.  Take some guesses now at what we have made and when you come to see the display we hope that you find each of these.

49 days to go!

It's been a while since many people have thought about Halloween but we've been thinking about it for months.  Construction has been taking place through the summer and a lot of the big work will be taking place in the next month as we get closer to Halloween.

We haven't just been working on our own display but we've been working with Halloween Alley by Famous Toys in Market Mall to make the spooky season just a little scarier.



More details about what Halloween Alley is working on will be posted as we get closer to October but in the meantime you should head over to Halloween alley in Market Mall to check out all they have to offer with your own Halloween decorations and costumes.

Look for more pictures to be posted soon showing the progress and sneak peaks of what we have been working on.
