Get ready to be creeped out.
Scarehouse Windsor is opening its doors to the public on today at its "house of horrors" location at 1441 McDougall Ave. at Shepherd.
The attraction started in 2008 and has been in five different locations in Windsor but it is now permanently in the old warehouse at McDougall.
Owners say it is 20,000 square feet of "pure torment".

Co-owner Shawn Lippert says the permanent location will make this easier and more scary. "We worked so hard to be able to get to this level of haunted house because we have been a nomad travelling circus for so many years, now that we have a permanent spot we can just keep working off the same stuff."
"People should be ready to scream," says Lippert. "All new technologies, we have LED low lighting so we can pinpoint specific things that we want you to be scared about, our music and sound system is to a whole new level, it is a lot of fun."
Lippert says the attraction is also geared to the millennial generation. "Kids who are born today, all that entertainment is provided to them and we see a lot on a two-dimensional aspect, we have tablets and computer screens and laptops and they have their phones, they don't have a world before that but we do."
The building at the corner of McDougall and Shepherd was built in 1911 by the Ideal Spring Company and has been known to be haunted.
The haunted house is open generally from 7pm to midnight on weekends and on some Thursday and Friday nights in October.
