Woodbine: A Parkdale Haunts Production

Parkdale Haunt: Trailer

Ever since Claire inherited a house from a biological family she never knew, things have begun to change. It isn’t just that the house is full of cryptic notebooks, ominous scribblings on the wall, and a creepy basement. Claire is… off. She’s sleepwalking, saying weird things, and becoming irritable and secretive. And as she gets closer to the secret at the heart of the old house in the Toronto neighborhood of Parkdale, she begins to lose herself in it. After Claire goes missing, her best friends begin sifting through the recordings of their unedited podcast attempt, Yes! In My Backyard, to see if there’s any clues as to what happened. But what they find is something better left untouched. Parkdale Haunt is about friendship and identity, trauma, cults, demons, and, most frighteningly, the Toronto real estate market.

3: NO GOOD DEEDS

What’s that in the basement? Is it a ghost? A demon? A very angry raccoon? Possibly all three? Claire and Judith investigate the downstairs finally and find that it is truly creepy in more ways than they would’ve expected. The recordings are getting freakier though, and one new one starts to shed a little light on what might have precipitated the changes happening to Claire.CONTENT WARNINGS: Animals, hauntings/paranormal experiences, blood (mentioned), darkness, fainting, gaslighting, alcoholEmily Kellogg as ClaireAlex Nursall as JudithIan Boddy as OwenCarson Pinch as AdamTheme music by Phil WrightRecorded at Pirate SoundPresented in partnership with Realm.You can find us on Twitter and Instagram @parkdalehaunt.

4: SUBTERRANEAN

In the recordings, Claire talks about finding diaries in the basement of the house, along with her new sleepwalking-related issues. Hoping to get their hands on some books, Judith and Owen head over to the house to root through the basement, but the house and whatever is inside it does not want them there.CONTENT WARNINGS: Hauntings/paranormal experiences, infanticide (mentioned), cults, the occult, sleepwalking, alcoholEmily Kellogg as ClaireAlex Nursall as JudithIan Boddy as OwenTheme music by Phil WrightRecorded at Pirate TorontoPresented in partnership with RealmYou can find us on Twitter and Instagram @parkdalehaunt.
