Legends from the Underworld!

Zombies. Voodoo gods. Wild Women of the Woods. Three-headed dogs. Mexican witches' brew. All these and more are in store for those who dare to climb aboard this year's Stanley Park Hallowe'en Ghost Train.

Just ask Georgie—if you get a chance! Georgie is on the run, dodging and ducking an international group of ghouls and ghosties that inhabit the underworld. Will the mischievous child outrun the Wild Woman of the Woods, outwit the voodoo god Obatal, outsmart the Goddess of Death Kali? And can Georgie stay one step ahead of the man with the child-sized sack, Gentleman Jack?

Since 1999, the Ghost Train has become an annual tradition for thousands of families craving thrills and excitement. Reinventing itself each year with new themes, sets, costumes and many more surprises conjured up by the creative team at Mortal Coil Performance Society , the Ghost Train is a uniquely wonderful and fun experience every trick-or-treat season.

Directors Sharon Bayly, Peter Hall and Marietta Kozak of Mortal Coil head up this year's crew of actors, dancers, stilt performers and puppeteers bringing demons from all corners of the world's folklore to life. Don't worry, though—even as you venture through the Mouth of Hell and travel to the Underworld, you'll be out of harm's way in the safety of the Ghost Train...trust us! Mwahahahahahaha!

More family fun

Family adventures at this year’s Ghost Train include face painting, a shadow puppet theatre and the Children’s Haunted Farmyard with its spooky animals. Thursday through Saturday take part in Creatures of the Night Walks hosted by the Stanley Park Ecology Society .
