SCREAM HOME

Scaring others a family tradition for Calgary household CODY STUART

or most of the year, Calgarians go to great lengths to boost their homes’ curb appeal. After all, removing unwanted trash and old rubbish to make a home welcoming is part of what makes a neighbourhood great. Yet around this time of the year, these same people will do their best to make their homes as unwelcoming as possible – when those old garbage bags, stained sheets and broken furniture become valued commodities. Welcome to Halloween in Calgary. “We are [the Halloween house people],” says Myrna Campbell, whose Rocky Ridge home has become famous for its yearly transformation. For nearly three decades, the Campbells have been taking All Hallows’ Day to the next level. From humble beginnings, “Haunted Calgary” now attracts as many as 7,000 people annually, allowing ghouls and goblins of all ages to test their mettle against the Campbells’ creations, which Myrna promises will be better than ever this year. “Initially we just did it for Halloween, so we’d start a few days before. And now we have to start at the beginning of September,” she said.
