Brae Island Halloween Camp Attracts Hundreds in Langley, British Columbia

Each August, a group of Halloween enthusiasts known as FrightFest BC sets up a themed camping experience on Fort Camping’s Brae Island campground along the Fraser River in Langley, British Columbia. Participants such as Ben Krakowsky and Corinne Senger bring extensive decorations—screws, foam gravestones, fake blood, plastic skeletons—and construct a temporary haunted house that is open to the public. The event, which began around 2007, now draws visitors from the surrounding region and the United States. The core crew numbers about two dozen campers, while additional volunteers help with set‑up and maintenance. Attendees share ideas, exchange costume tips, and enjoy the natural setting despite dealing with mosquitoes and other outdoor challenges. The camp aims to celebrate Halloween as an inclusive holiday, offering a unique outdoor celebration for families and hobbyists alike.
