October 31 falls on a Saturday in 2026, and Quebec is ready: haunted villages that switch to adults-only after dark, ghost walks in Old Montréal and Old Québec, a ghost ship on the river, the Rocky Horror ball and fright festivals. This guide gathers Halloween’s haunted nights for adults and teens, each with the venue’s listing, dates, intensity and minimum age.
Tips: most trails have a daytime version for kids and an “extreme” evening version from age 13 or 16, so check the listing. October Saturdays sell out a week ahead: book. And ghost walks are on foot, outdoors, for two hours: dress for it.
Our Halloween favourites
Le Village hanté du Village Québécois d’Antan, Drummondville. In October, more than a hundred terrifying characters and some twenty concepts await visitors: screams and jumps guaranteed.
Fright Fest, La Ronde, Montreal. Once night falls, the amusement park goes dark: haunted houses, rides in the dark and characters lurking in the alleys.
Old Montréal Ghosts, Old Montreal. Themed walks led by professional actors, on the dark past of the historic district and the spirits that haunt it.
Ghost Tours of Québec, Old Québec. At dusk, costumed guides light their lanterns and tell of murders, executions and ghosts in the streets of the old city.
Bal d’Halloween du Rocky Horror Picture Show, Montreal. The cult film on the big screen in front of an audience that joins in, with a troupe on stage, a master of ceremonies and a costume contest.
