Halloween Events
When it comes to Halloween, the City of Angels knows how to have a devil of a good time. From the world\'s largest Halloween street party, to family-friendly Halloween events at museums and other cultural institutions, Los Angeles attractions, tours and parties offer fiendish fun and spooky scares for everyone.
EVENTS & ATTRACTIONS
Sept. 23-Oct. 31: Halloween Horror Nights
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) at Universal Studios Hollywood brings together a Hollywood horror dream team to create the ultimate Halloween nightmare. Featuring six sinister mazes:
The Thing: Assimilation
Eli Roth’s Hostel: Hunting Season
Alice Cooper: Welcome to My Nightmare
Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses: In 3D ZombieVision
La Llorona: Villa De Almas Pedidas (“The Weeping Woman: Village of the Lost Souls”) imagined by Diego Luna
The Wolfman: The Terror of Talbot Hall
HHN also features five terror-filled “Scare Zones,” the return of “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure” and a fully re-imagined “Terror Tram” backlot studio experience, offering guests the chance to walk through Universal Studios historic movie sets. Universal’s most popular rides and attractions will also be open to guests, including “Jurassic Park In the Dark,” “The Simpsons Ride” and “Revenge of the Mummy – The Ride.”
Halloween Horror Nights kicks off on Friday, September 23 and continues on select nights through Halloween, Monday, October 31. The event will begin nightly at 7:00 p.m.; closing hours vary by night throughout the event.
October 7-31: Haunted Hayride at the Old Zoo
The theme for this year’s Haunted Hayride is “Through The Eyes Of A Child,” a frightening journey into the Old Zoo in the woods at Griffith Park. The twin daughters of zookeeper Ferdinand Clifton were rumored to suffer from violent nightmares, and their journals have provided the ghastly inspiration for an experience that includes 15-foot mascots of death, 400-year-old children, terrifying clowns, “The In-Between (Dark Maze),” and “The Human Menagerie” sideshow. The Haunted Hayride takes place Thursday-Sunday, October 7th through 31st. Hours are 7 p.m. to midnight on Friday-Saturday, and 7-10:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sunday & Halloween. Ticket prices vary, including options for Hayride only, Hayride & Dark Maze, VIP (front of line) and Group rates.
October 7-31: The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor
Unique among Halloween attractions, Dark Harbor takes you through the Queen Mary’s actual haunted areas. Thanks to the macabre minds behind some of Southern California\'s biggest scream-fests, the scares clock in at over “45,000 per hour,” along with 160 monsters and 20-foot tall flames. Even if you survive the three shipboard and two onshore mazes, the food, drink and entertainment inside will ensure you’ll never want to leave.
October 14-31: Nightmare...A Haunted Attraction at Fairplex

Rubinstein, who will present an array of music to celebrate the season and the iconic venue’s 80th Anniversary. Among the frightening favorites scheduled to be performed: Night on Bald Mountain, Danse Macabre and the music from Psycho. The event will also feature the premiere of a new symphonic version of Edgar Allan Poe\'s Gothic masterpiece The Tell-Tale Heart, composed just for the occasion by Maestro Rubinstein. The grand finale is a suite from Franz Waxman\'s Bride of Frankenstein score, with film clips from the classic 1935 movie.
To add to the festivities, The Greek Theatre\'s front plaza will open at 5:30 p.m. and be transformed into a \"Trick-or-Treat Village,\" allowing families to bring their children for safe trick-or-treating. There will also be a pre-show costume contest with great prizes. And don\'t be afraid of paying for parking, because it\'s free!
