The Haunting of Falkland has once again expanded to add two new experiences for people looking for a thrill this Halloween season.

First, The Hunt is an event for people 16 years old and up and offers an experience for six people to be stalked for 10 minutes by one of Hollywood鈥檚 famous slasher figures.

The second new experience is targeted towards all ages and can be done as a family. The Zombie Shoot will see participants follow a woodland path through a zombie apocalypse. The only thing between guests鈥� families and the zombies is the laser guns provided to help them get out to the other side of the forest alive.

The Haunting of Falkland still has crowd favourites including the eight-roomed Haunted Hall featuring such areas at The Nun, Pet Cemetery, Vampire Castle and more.

Due to the more than 3,600 people who attended last year, more food has been added to the venue and portable washrooms have been placed between the two main venues (the Falkland Museum grounds and the Falkland Community Hall).

All ticket purchases for the event, 50/50 draw and paranormal investigations are available online at . Due to high demand, the Haunting of Falkland team recommends people pre-purchase their tickets.

鈥淭his year we are anticipating for well over 6,000 people from all over southern British Columbia and beyond,鈥� organizers said in a press release.

Last year鈥檚 event distributed well over $10,000 to over a dozen non-profits throughout the Falkland and surrounding communities.

鈥淭his distribution of profits is only available due to the generosity of the many sponsors who support this event.鈥�

鈥淲e are absolutely astounded for the overwhelming support from people who attended last year鈥檚 event. We had people attend from the Lower Mainland, Cariboo, United States and even some exchange students from China,鈥� said event co-founder Dean Trumbley.

The Falkland Museum curator, Denise Frocklage, said, 鈥淭he Haunting of Falkland is only in it鈥檚 fourth year, but we have seen growth from just 450 people to an expected 6,000 plus. So, this year we have added more vendors, more food, more experiences, and more decorations 鈥� as long as people keep coming, we will continue to grow The Haunting every year.鈥�
