Anmore Manor was an exceptional Halloween haunted house at a private home in Metro Vancouver that was open to the public by donation in late October each year.
The haunted attraction opened for the last time in 2024 from October 25th to 27th, and again on the 31st.
The caretakers shuttered Anmore Manor as a haunted house because they are involved in a new, much bigger experience called Dreadworks Haunted House in Surrey. Dreadworks isn’t your typical haunted house. It’s described as “immersive live theatre” and is as unique as it is scary! It’s definitely worth checking out. There’s not another haunted house in the Lower Mainland like it!

About Anmore Manor | What You Could See | Other Information
Anmore Manor at Halloween
Anmore Manor is an ordinary looking house at 1151 Robin Way in Anmore (near Port Moody) most days of the year. The place turned into an amazingly gruesome haunted house in the last few days of October. It was worth driving out to see!
The attraction opened to the public for the final time near the end of October last year. Visitors were welcomed on October 25th to 27th, and again on Halloween night.
The house opened at 7:00 pm each day and closed at between 10:00 pm and 10:45 pm on select nights.
Donations were welcomed in lieu of admission price to visit Anmore Manor. This made the attraction affordable and benefitted a good cause.
Limited VIP Fast Passes were also available.
About Anmore Manor
Anmore Manor had been operating for almost a decade, and as many as 350 or more people went through it each night. The attraction raised $18,000 for the SHARE Family & Community Services Food Bank two years ago.
The creators of Anmore Manor (who are also the owners and residents of the house) are regular people at other times of the year. They’re also serious haunted house fanatics.
The couple behind Anmore Manor went to all the various haunted house conventions in North America, and the man used to be the President of the BC Chapter of the Canadian Haunters Association. These are people who really love Halloween, and it showed.
Anmore Manor was both a family affair and a real community event. The haunted attraction involved around 12 behind-the-scenes helpers per night, including neighbours and local firefighters who directed traffic. That was in addition to being a donor to a charitable beneficiary.
What You Could See
You would have seen professional-quality haunted attraction scenes when you visited Anmore Manor at Halloween.
The place wasn’t the Lower Mainland’s number one most impressive haunted house on the outside. It was impressive, but not #1. The exterior when we last went (several years ago) was very good, although it was similar to other uber-decorated houses you might find elsewhere in Metro Vancouver around Halloween.
It was the inside of the home that was Hollywood-horror-movie-calibre scary and impressive. At this attraction you could go inside the owners’ home! At Anmore Manor you walked up the front steps and right into and throughout the house! You walked into rooms which anyone familiar with the home on a regular day would no longer recognize (or at least we assumed and hoped not). You also walked along halls and down stairs. This haunted house was a real house.
A lot of the horror scenes at Anmore Manor were handmade. Some of the materials were commercially produced and items the creators had picked up on their travels to Halloween-related conventions in different places. The majority of what you saw, though, was made from scratch by the home’s owners.
When we visited the place one year we were impressed with the psycho nurse and corpse scene. All the live actors actually were really good.
If you are a fan of haunted houses and horror movie-type scenes, then Anmore Manor was the place to visit in the run-up to Halloween. The attraction was recognized by the Canadian Haunters Association as the Hall of Fame winner for the Best Canadian Walkthrough Haunt in 2019.
