Halloween doesn’t just happen on October 31st – for some of us, it happens every day. Now that all the major Halloween events are open, countless monsters, ghouls and creatures of the dark have been unleashed upon a rabid fan base of scare-addicted freaks.
Halloween 2016 is proving to be a haunt season full of a variety of blood-soaked delights from the classic scares of Halloween Horror Nights to the next wave of immersive theater experiences like The Tension Experience. Whatever your taste in terror is, ScarePop’s 2016 So-Cal Haunt List has got you covered. To quote Hellraiser’s Pinhead, “We have such sights to show you.”
Stay tuned to this list as we will be updating it and adding reviews throughout the season.

Start the night out in their sultry lounge, where drink purchases benefit The Art of Elysium.
