Question 1

Is The Haunted Mansion at Moonlight good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Haunted Mansion at Moonlight is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Erin breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.

Question 2

How is Paint Nite different from a painting class?

Accepted Answer

A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Erin is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant , a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.

Question 3

What's Erin like as an instructor?

Accepted Answer

Erin is a real local artist based in Edmonton — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 16 out of 20 guests who've painted with Erin say the instruction was amazing. Emily L. said: 'She’s amazing !!!! Definitely helps out and is great with the instructions, can’t wait to go again !'

Question 4

What's Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant  like?

Accepted Answer

Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant  is a local venue in Edmonton — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.

Question 5

Are there more Paint Nite events in Edmonton?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have 126 upcoming events in Edmonton this month.

Question 6

Is The Haunted Mansion at Moonlight a seasonal painting?

Accepted Answer

The Haunted Mansion at Moonlight is a fall painting — rich autumn colors that capture the season beautifully.

Question 7

Whatever happened to Yaymaker?

Accepted Answer

Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Edmonton, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Question 8

What's included in my ticket for this event?

Accepted Answer

Your ticket to The Haunted Mansion at Moonlight includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Erin. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant  — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Question 9

How long is The Haunted Mansion at Moonlight?

Accepted Answer

Spins VLT room and Smitty's Restaurant 's event starts at 1:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 12:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Erin starts the painting.

Question 10
