There will be a new arrival in Edmonton this fall, a festival like no other. For 13 days and nights this October our macabre metropolis will come alive with the sights and sounds of Halloween. Many existing events and several new ones will be shared with the masses - the young, the old, the living and the undead.

We want you to be part of it.

Here's something interesting, not only are/were we the City of Champions, Edmonton is vying for a new title - Deadmonton.

Originally it was used as a derogatory term - some people see this city as boring, and we do have one of the highest murder rates in the country, especially by firearms. It was even printed on shirts showing an AK-47 along with it.

This is a different approach, and we're taking the name back!
