If you’re looking to be scared and spooked, there’s just the spot for that in Kelowna.

The Grenfell Road Haunted House is open in the evenings leading up to Halloween.

There’s also a non-scary version for kids and adults who want to keep their heartrate down.

The event is raising funds and food donations for Kelowna’s food bank.
