Spooky Simulated Elevator Experiences

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The BOO Elevator Ran at Bramalea City Centre Shopping Mall

— November 23, 2025 — Marketing
The BOO Elevator was a temporary seasonal attraction installed at the Bramalea City Centre shopping mall, which is considered to be "one of Ontario's largest shopping centres." This installation presented a simulated elevator experience that surrounded participants with a 360-degree haunted environment, complete with thematic visuals and audio. This tech-enhanced activation offered a more engaging and novel alternative to static displays or simple walk-through attractions.

The BOO Elevator was a free Halloween experience that ran daily until November 2nd. The installation also offered varying levels of spookiness to guests who could choose between two pathways — one designed to be less intense and suitable for families with young children, and a second, more frightening route advertised as a scarier alternative.
