We still have some undertaking to do but we are getting things rolling once again with dEdmonton’s Most Haunted. Do you decorate your abode in it’s Halloween finest? Then let us know and we can put you up on our map. We’ll even dispatch our minions to place a lawn sign letting the world know that you’re one of our featured haunts!

While we all wait for The Walking Dead to start (on October 16th!)  you can get your own zombie on October 7th at a zombie walk with the theme of Zombie’s in Space (visit their Facebook event page: THE RCZC 5TH ANNIVERSARY ZOMBIE WALK: ZOMBIES IN SPACE ) and the next night is their First Annual Zombie Prom and BBQ and The Pawn Shop.

The Edmonton Bone Wagon Association is appearing all over the place too – recently seen at store openings of Spirit Halloween and Custom Costumes, but also in parades, car shows, and at the Smoky Lake Great White North Pumpkin Festival and Weigh-off October 1st and the Prairie Gardens Haunted Pumpkin Festival.

Remember to keep an eye on our Halloween Events Calendar for all the upcoming events, and stay tuned to dEdmonton.TV to hear more details and recaps about some of these events.

Behind the Icon presents Chip Coffey

April 24, 2010 By

Coffey talk with Chip Coffey, May 7th, 2010Internationally acclaimed psychic, Chip Coffey, will be interacting online with fans on May 6, 2010 in an exclusive pay-per-view event, in partnership with Trixstar Productions and fusedlogic inc, Coffey will be answering audience questions via chat and Skype in an online live-streaming two-hour show.

In addition to his psychic abilities, Coffey is also a paranormal investigator, lecturer, and writer. He has been featured on numerous television programs, specifically Paranormal State and Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal, both on A&E Network.

“I’m really looking forward to interacting with my fans! This is the first time I’ve ever done a live webcast,” exclaimed Chip Coffey. This one-time event will launch Coffey’s Canadian tour, which begins May 7 in Edmonton at the Myer Horowitz Theatre. This tour is part of the Edmonton-based Trixstar Production’s “Behind The Icon” series.

The first part of the show will be a lecture and a question answer period with the crowd. There will be a short intermission after the Q & A.

After the readings the formal part of the show will end and then those who purchased the VIP Experience willcontinue on with their meet & greet activities.

Lust, Ladies and Luchadores!

September 4, 2009 By

Don't Wait for October!

Can’t wait for October? DEDfest is giving you a chance to get a head start on the Halloween season:

The lovely ghoulitas of lascivious burlesque will slink their way out of their silk-lined coffins for an evening of scarily seductive, scantily clad, horrifically hell-tastic fun. Our diabolical dancers include Cherry BonBon, The Sultry Vixen, Holly Sin, Sweet Sally Sass, Lady Amethyst, Pandora, Terez, and Danailya.

Tickets are only $15! Highballs and domestic beer are only $4.25, and we’ve got prizes galore!

And that’s not all folks… admission includes a screening of the craziest animated film of the decade – a film that could only come from the mind of Rob Zombie: “The Haunted World of El Superbeasto”! Based on the comic created by Rob Zombie, El Superbeasto – masked wrestler, superhero and adult film entrepreneur – teams up with his super sexy sister Suzi X to take on the foul-mouthed stripper Velvet Von Black and her partner, the diabolical Dr. Satan and stop their unholy plot to destroy Monsterland!

Tickets available at The Lobby DVD Shop on Whyte (780.433.0600), and through Lascivious Burlesque (LasciviousBurlesque@yahoo.ca).

Thursday, September 17. Doors are at 8, movie at 8:30, and Lascivious after the film.

Visit www.DEDfest.com for more details, or let them know you’ll be there on Facebook.

The Clyde Haunted House Invades Westlock!

August 23, 2009 By

westlock-parade-4

Last weekend while the denizens of dEdmonton were preparing for a Bloody (but peaceful) Gorilla hunt in Spruce Grove, our good friends from the Clyde Haunted House took their crew of witches, werewolves, hearses and mummies on the road to scare up some fun in the parade for Westlock’s Annual Fair and Rodeo.

They were very kind to fly the dEdmonton banner for us, so we could be there in spirit, and their entry won third place in their category! The judges were probably impressed by the lustrous coat and firm, proud haunches of the Wolfman.

Clap for the Wolfman












2009 will be the 4th year for the Clyde Haunted House. It’s on October 31st from 4:00pm to 10:30pm in the Clyde Community Hall, which is about an hour north of Edmonton. Last year they had nearly 1000 visitors – in a town with a population of 500!

It’s open to all ages at no charge, but they do ask visitors to bring donations for the Food Bank.

They’ve got two gorgeous hearses, and this year their goal is to fill one of them with food (but why stop at one, right?)












They have two venues: for the young ones (children under 11) and those young at heart, there is a guided tour and all the creepy crawlies promise to behave themselves; after that it’s Enter at your own Risk.

There are treats for all the kids, and coffee and hot chocolate for the adults.

So if you’re in the neighbourhood on Halloween don’t forget to drop by for a scare!

One day we’ll get these groups together to settle the age-old questions:

Wolfman vs. Gorilla



















Zom-brownie vs. Mummy

(Personally, a Zombie-Wolfman could take all of ‘em. Although nothing beats a Mummy-Gorilla.)
