Get ready to get scared!
We're just two weeks away from the beginning of ScreamFest at Canada Olympic Park.
This year, Canada's largest Halloween carnival has seven haunted houses, carnival games, a bug eating contest and performances from contortionists and fire spinners.
In addition, a new face comes to ScreamFest in 2011: sideshow performer The Enigma. Born Paul Lawrence, The Enigma has undergone extensive body modification including horn implants, ear reshaping, multiple body piercings, and a full-body jigsaw-puzzle tattoo.
Spokesperson Mike Sheppard tells 660News, they're also launching a new contest based on the Big Rock Eddies.
"ScreamFest is doing our own version and it's called 'The Deadies'," says Sheppard. "We're just launching it now, and the winner will be chosen next year. But we give people one year to make a TV commercial for ScreamFest, and there's gonna be a multi-thousand dollar prize at the end."
Tickets for Screamfest are already available online at
Ticketweb for $20 to $40.
The event kicks off October 7th, 2011.
