Many say this power house on Lakeshore is a part of one of the most haunted collection of buildings in Toronto. A terrifying experience awaits unsuspecting Torontonians and outsiders at the POWERHOUSE OF TERROR where legend has it ghosts linger in what is the most haunted group of buildings in Toronto. This ongoing charity haunt which opened this year on October 13th and hosting it’s last haunt of the year today on Halloween! Different than most attractions of it’s kind because this Haunt support’s local at-risk youth while bringing serious chills and thrills to Toronto. The Powerhouse was constructed in 1936, in Colonel Samuel Smith Park, Lakeshore. Once steam pushed these mighty turbines to make electricity, but now THE POWERHOUSE OF TERROR is an evil inferno powered by FEAR. Three new haunted attractions will reduce you to a pathetic quivering mass of fright.
