Are you ready for The Asylum? The Beast? Darkness or Fear?

Courier staffer Janine Jurji and her Westender colleague Matty Lambert weren’t.

You may remember Lambert from the Courier's Five Scariest Rides at the PNE video posted this summer.

Thursday night, Lambert, accompanied by Jurji, braved Fright Nights at the PNE, considered by many to be Western Canada’s scariest haunt.

 

Fright Nights, which runs until Nov. 1, features seven haunted houses, 15 rides, as well as the Monsters of Schlock and Radiant Heat fire shows.

And, for those so inclined, Canada's most extreme pendulum ride, The Beast, is free with admission. Its menacing pendulum arm swings riders 120-degrees in either direction, reaching heights of more than 125 feet while flying 90 kilometres an hour in a seat that spins 360 degrees.

Make sure to check out Fear, where your deepest, darkest, anxiety-inducing phobias come to life such as towering heights, wild animals ready to attack, being buried alive and even the dentist. (Hate the dentist.)

Other haunted houses include The Asylum, Darkness, Car-N-Evil, Haunted Mansion, Keepers Doll Factory and Hollywood Horrors.
