Halloween 2015: New Los Angeles Haunt Listings

Many of our favorite Los Angeles Halloween haunts are going on hiatus during the 2015 season. Fortunately, new events and attractions are rising like ghosts leaving their graves, filling the void with enough ectoplasmic energy to sustain haunt-seekers throughout the upcoming weeks. Interested in seeing what new spirits will be haunting houses near you? Then read on…if you dare!

Creep Los Angeles

Creep Los AngelesJudging from a quote highlighted on the official website – “I’m not afraid of werewolves or vampires or haunted hotels. I’m afraid of what real human beings do to other real human beings” – this “fully immersive and interactive haunt experience” seems to be another example of the unfortunate trend toward “Halloween haunts” that have little if anything to do with Halloween or haunting (e.g., Blackout Haunted House and Alone: An Existential Haunting). Which is not to say it won’t be terrifying and entertaining, if that’s your cup of blood. Creep Los Angeles will operate on October 2-4, 9-11, 15-18, 23-25, 28-31. Tickets are $20 for pre-sale (before October 1); $25 online after October 1; and $30 at the door.
