Pumkin Jack’s Haunted House Information

Situated on a corner in a quiet Santa Clarita neighborhood, this Halloween home haunt features outdoor decorations and a walk-through maze inside the garage. There is some plastic tarp, but for the most part the construction effectively creates the illusion that you are inside a haunted house, and though short, the 600-foot labyrinth is impressively dense with scares, featuring eight haunted rooms.

During to Covid-19 health and safety concerns, Pumkin Jack’s scaled back to a yard display in 2021, then offered a Squid Game yard display in 2022 before resuming its walkthrough haunted house in 2022. The following year, Pumkin Jack’s Haunted House made a late announcement (October 6) that their walkthrough would be up and running on Halloween Night only. The theme was a throwback to the haunt’s first year, featuring an abandoned cabin haunted by a serial killer. A cross between haunted house and escape room, it required visitors to figure out how to find their way out.
