Spooky activities to do this Halloween
Article updated on October 4, 2025
Exo buses are a bit like modern flying broomsticks: they bring us wherever we want to go at lightning speed.
This fall, we invite you to see pumpkins, ghosts, monsters, and maybe even a few sleepy zombies on the train or bus.
Here are three ideas for spooky activities on the North Shore of Montréal, all accessible by public transit.
The Festival Frissons in Mascouche

Les morts nous ont contés... (The dead have told us tales...)
Every Friday and Saturday between October 10 and November 1, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., you’re invited to the Île-des-Moulins bridge in Terrebonne for the chilling Les morts nous ont contés... experience.
This theatrical tour brings key moments of Terrebonne’s history to life in an evening that’s sure to make your hair stand on end. But beware, spots are as rare as ghosts in broad daylight!
