Coaldale’s Haunted School returns Oct. 20-29

Oct 3, 2026 | 6:00 AM

The Town of Coaldale is bringing the Haunted School back for another Halloween season.

The former John Davidson School will be open for five nights in 2026, offering Halloween fun at two levels, one for families with young children and the other with live actors and jump scares.

Paid admission is being introduced this year, with kids aged 5-11 costing $5 to enter and anyone 12 and older costing $10.

Parents accompanying young children on the family-friendly side can enter for free, while parents accompanying children through the scarier side will need to pay admission.
