Legends of Horror is a yearly event in Oct presented by Captain Morgan on the grounds of Casa Loma. It started in 2022. The self-guided tour takes 1 to 3 hours to walk through the entire 2 Km trail, considered a "promenade theatre". The event runs from Oct 3 to Nov 2 in 2024, starting at 19:00 until late. A group of us went on 2024-10-04. A few audience members even dressed up in Halloween costumes. The cheapest tickets are $45 (Oct 3 to Oct 17) or $55 (Oct 18 to Nov 2) when purchased online.
They don't allow use of flash photography so they will search you bags for flashes.
The trail starts at a gate at the north-east corner of Walmer Rd and Davenport Rd. It traverses the grounds and tunnels of Casa Loma. The first portion of the trail has live and undead horror characters/animals that can pop up at any time. They never touch you and you must not touch them. Then you enter a hall where you can purchase drinks and snacks, with a live DJ to entertain you. After that, there is a 3D projection on the exterior of the castle, bringing the characters of the storyline and walls of the castle to life. Then you go through tunnels with fewer live or undead characters.
Family hours are available Oct 18 to Nov 2 (17:00 to 18:30). It is for families with younger children, and less dark. There will be no live/undead characters.
There are so many characters and animals to scare you. There are different themes like werewolves, Dracula, Stranger Things, etc.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. We took 3 hours. Everything was well-done.
Alcoholic drinks cost around $9-$20. Outside food or drinks are not allowed
The trail is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms after the refreshments room. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking and a paid George Brown parking lots.
