Inspectors visited the event and ultimately issued a shutdown notice. Last year, Allen told CTV News Edmonton how neighbours around the haunted house complained to the city about the noise it produced and concerns about the safety of its structure. "There's not the long hallways you can run out of… It's basically built like a maze now. "Anyone who has been to our haunts before probably won't expect this," Allen shared. "This year, I think we've done a spectacular job. "It's a real challenge every year to try and change it up for the people that are regular," he added. "I never thought it would grow like this or transpire into something this big."Įach time the theme and layout are adapted to keep the scares fresh, Allen says. "It's really evolved into a pretty big thing." "It started out as one little Halloween function which grew every year," Allen said. Lindsay Allen and his family have hosted the event for six years outside their garage and backyard. Admission to the amateur spook house is by donation to support the Parkland Food Bank. The Spruce Ridge Scare haunted house opened for the season Friday. An annual Spruce Grove Halloween tradition has returned to help raise donations for a good cause.
