Halloween isn91裸聊视频檛 just about the shadows lurking in the night and the ensuing jump scares.

For Caravan Farm Theatre, a good scare is the culmination of haunting beauty, humour, absurdity and the vast unknown. That91裸聊视频檚 the modus operandi behind the Theatre91裸聊视频檚 15th annual Walk of Terror Oct. 27.

Complete with an estimated 100 volunteers and exciting new events, Caravan Farm Theatre artistic and managing director Estelle Shook said this year91裸聊视频檚 nighttime walk through the 80-acre property will continue to push the envelope.

91裸聊视频淓very year, we91裸聊视频檙e exploring ways to make it a bigger event,91裸聊视频� Shook said.

New to the farm this year is the Okanagan-based professional fire entertainers, the Kinshira Fire Troupe.

91裸聊视频淭o me, that just pushes it over the edge because it91裸聊视频檚 such a spectacle,91裸聊视频� Shook said of the Kinshira Fire Troupe. 91裸聊视频淲e had such a hard year for fires. If you can distance yourself from that, fire juggling is so beautiful.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 so great to bring out this group of acclaimed artistic ability. I think they are going to bring something wonderful and spontaneous to the walk.91裸聊视频�

Three distinct scenes will line the 20-to-30 minute walk as patrons wind their way across the Salmon River Road farm. A core creative team of five people is working with the volunteers to produce both beautiful and wittingly repugnant characters.

91裸聊视频淪etting is very important. As a theatre company, we know the human being is complex. We aim for the whole spectrum of emotion,91裸聊视频� Shook said. 91裸聊视频淚t is macabre. There is a darkness there. I think it91裸聊视频檚 a healthy experience that helps us not to do that sort of thing at any other time.91裸聊视频�

Adding to the ambience are two sets left behind from previous performances: the power plant from and the revolving stage from featuring scene-tailored frights.

However, despite the myriad of scares wrought throughout the walk, Shook said the Farm91裸聊视频檚 mandate is to keep the Walk of Terror open to families.

91裸聊视频淚t is really family-oriented. It aims to be everything for everyone,91裸聊视频� Shook said. 91裸聊视频淲e really do want to make it as creepy as we can for adults but as magical as we can for kids.91裸聊视频�

To facilitate that sanction, volunteers can coordinate with one another via radio to warn, or perhaps prepare, actors of ensuing families with children or a group of teenagers to create a finely-tuned experience.

Following the walk, Compassion Gorilla will kick off the dance party in the timber barn at 8 p.m. complete with food, hot drinks, free marshmallows for children and a costume contest with cash prizes presided over by three expert judges.

91裸聊视频淲e always get amazing costumes,91裸聊视频� Shook said. 91裸聊视频淧eople put in so much effort.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 very much a Mardi Gras experience, carnival experience. It91裸聊视频檚 an opportunity to go to a fantastical place.91裸聊视频�
