Halloween in Los Angeles is a special time, when horror enthusiasts create elaborate Yard Haunts (or, in some cases Garage Haunts) in order to terrify appreciative trick-or-treaters just for the love of doing it. These amateur efforts are typically decorated to resemble graveyards and/or haunted houses. Some offer walk-through mazes. A few feature elaborate mechanical and visual effects, timed with audio and music to create self-contained shows.
Although we refer to Los Angeles Halloween Home Haunts as "amateur attractions" (because they are non-profit), some feature professional-quality makeup, sets, costumes, and special effects. Haunted houses with live actors tend to be open on select nights, usually weekends and Halloween. Decorated Yard Haunts often run nightly, sometimes starting by mid-month.
Almost all Los Angeles Halloween Yard Haunts are free and open to the public. Some accept donations, either to off-set their costs or to benefit local charities.
Below are listings a Los Angeles Home Haunts and neighborhood trick-or-treating opportunities. Those we have visited or for which we have extensive information have links to dedicated pages including reviews, photos, and video. Other haunts, which we have yet to visit, are included at the bottom.
