Legends of Horror returns to Casa Loma with new chills and thrills – Oct 3 to Nov 2, 2024 (Toronto)
Just when you thought your worst nightmare was over… Liberty Entertainment Group announces the return of its classic and beloved Halloween-themed event, Legends of Horror on the grounds of Toronto’s celebrated historic castle, Casa Loma. Opening October 3rd and running until November 2nd, 2024, this phantasmagoric event is guaranteed to elevate one’s fear factor, make one’s blood run cold, and stop audiences… dead. Welcome to your nightmare!
Legends of Horror is a theatrical interpretation of classic horror characters, themes and décor known as promenade theatre — where guests wander at their own pace through an interactive set as the sun sets, and autumnal moon rises. With thrills and chills at each turn, dramatic lighting, 3D imagery projections and animatronics, guests begin the 2 km outdoor walking trail in the lower gardens of the property and wind their way through to Sir Henry Pellatt’s dank, dimly lit tunnels under the street. Next, the castle’s historic Stables – a veritable chamber of horrors – wherein lies the freaky and fantastic home of Dr. Frankenstein, and his cast of ghoulish characters.
On opening night, October 3rd, Liberty Group is thrilled to announce the special guest appearance of Toronto’s rock & roll darlings, the Cold Weather Captains performing live onstage in the castle’s Glass Pavilion — aka the Captain Morgan Bar and Lounge — where guests may recharge with themed bar and beverage options. With unparalleled views of the creepy castle projections, the Captains will undoubtedly maximize the ultimate horror experience for all.
“We have added some terrifying new surprises in this year’s production, and guarantee an unparalleled experience for all ages,” said Nadia Di Donato, vice president and creative director, Liberty Entertainment Group. “Each year we go bigger and bolder, and we believe that our show will thrill, chill, disturb and delight, offering a unique experience on each visit. We promise an evening full of surreal fun, and quite simply, the best Halloween experience in the city.”
