Every year Beulah the witch takes over the Shania Twain Centre. This year is no different.
For the sixth-straight Halloween, Beulah is transforming the centre into a house of horrors.
"Every year Beulah comes here and takes over," said Tracy Hautanen, manager of the Shania Twain Centre. "She's opened restaurants here and she's even tried to make meals out of the guests that visit us on Halloween."
This Saturday will be no different. For $2, guests will be ushered through the centre and underground between 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for an elaborate tour that's guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
"Beulah has a special event planned this year, which is by invitation only," said Hautanen. "Our guides have invitations to the special event and if you're brave enough to come you'll have a lot of fun."
There is even word that some of her friends may be lurking around inside the underground part of the tour.
"After you come through Beulah's special event in the Shania Twain Centre, you go underground to see if you can find some of her friends there. We'll even have some of her nicer friends taking over the gallery for a colouring contest," said Hautanen.
There are three stops on the guided tour that is sure to make the fillings in people's mouths pop out.
Beulah chose the centre because it offers the best place for her and her friends to gather to celebrate Halloween.
"I enjoy it here," said Beulah. "It's a great place for my friends and I to gather because it's nice and out of the way. We can set up shop unbothered."
The entire experience takes about an hour to complete.
"There are long lineups, so people will be waiting in line for a bit, but we'll be showing halloween movies while people wait. Everyone will leave with treats. We have lots of goodies for our guests. Plus, the winners of the colouring contests will be called back for some prizes," Hautanen said.
Every guest will receive a special gift from Beulah before they leave.
"I really like to pick on the parents, so kids should be accompanied by one," said Beulah.
Organizers want to caution people that strobe lights will be used throughout the experience.
