Get Spooked & Shop: Toronto Halloween Show 2025 Returns This Fall

Looking for thrills, chills, and a place to shop everything spooky in one go? The Toronto Halloween Show 2025 is creeping back into town, and this year’s event promises more frights and fun than ever. Taking over The Queen Elizabeth Building at Exhibition Place on September 27 and 28, this annual scare-fest celebrates everything Halloween—from horror-themed haunts to sweet costume inspo for all ages.

Whether you’re a haunted house junkie, a casual pumpkin decor lover, or a parent looking for fun weekend plans, there’s something here for you. And yes, it’s all open to the public.

What to Expect at the Show

From special effects demos to escape rooms, this isn’t just a marketplace—it’s a full Halloween theme park under one roof. Here’s what you’ll find:

Shop Till You Drop (Dead)

You’ll find endless Halloween goodies across dozens of vendors—from creepy lawn props to face paint, candles, masks, makeup, home decor, and handmade horror-themed crafts.
