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.
