The haunted theme park concept was first introduced in 2005, then called Fearfest while the park was under the ownership of Paramount Pictures. Fearfest at Paramount Canada's Wonderland originally operated on weekday evenings through October, with 7 maze attractions alongside 2 motion simulator movie rides in the Paramount Action FX Theatre.
The following year, Paramount extended its regular operating season through the family-oriented Halloween event "Spooktacular" in the typically closed child-oriented areas of the park, to match Fearfest's attendance in October. In 2006 the park ran Spooktacular from October 14�29 on weekends during the day, and would reopen the park as Fearfest in the evening.
With the change in ownership of the park from Paramount to the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, the Fearfest name was dropped and renamed Halloween Haunt, remaining consistent with similar attractions at other Cedar Fair theme parks across North America. In addition, Spooktacular was not revived for the 2007 operating season. Despite this, Canada's Wonderland still continued regular daytime park hours during the Halloween Haunt run. With an existing history of running haunted attractions since 1973 at Knott's Halloween Haunt, Cedar Fair was able to incorporate 4 additional mazes to the roster while retiring the Legend of the Lost and Slaughter Street attractions.
In 2008, Halloween Haunt saw an extended seasonal run into November, breaking the park's own attedance records for the event. Cedar Fair also retired the MTV Rockin' Scare area, including the Total Request Dead and Ozzburnes mazes in order to introduce 3 new ones for the season . The "adult-oriented'" horror musical show Dead Awakening also opened during the 2008 Halloween Haunt, performing at the Wonderland Theatre. There are currently three atmospheric scare areas with free-roaming monsters: Front Gate, CarnEVIL, and The Swamp.
These are the current attractions as of October 2010, Halloween Haunt 2011 will start September 30, 2011.
