Updates: This Halloween Reichland Asylum is billing its presentation as “Crawford Gardens,” an immersive display featuring new construction, including an expanded facade. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

Reichland Asylum Information

Reichland offers a lengthy walk-through, which begins with new “patients” being escorted inside for a brief orientation, followed by decontamination. The path takes you inside and outside of the institution – through a doctor’s office, past patient cells, into a nurse’s station, and out into an alleyway behind.

Along the way, you can distinguish staff from inmates mostly by clothing, since all of them seem equally insane. What’s nice is that, instead of being generically crazy, the characters have individual obsessions: a doctor raves about eyes watching from the walls; a patient wants you to become part of her stuffed-animal collection; and most hilariously, a man in the alley (either homeless or an escapee) covets your shoes.

Nearby Halloween Haunts

Reichland Asylum is conveniently close to two other entertaining home haunts, both inspired by Disneyland attractions. There is a Haunted Mansion yard display across the street and half a block up. The address is 4027 Bandini Avenue. A few blocks away is a fairly elaborate Pirates of Magnolia yard display at 5121 Magnolia Avenue.

Also nearby is White Park at 3936 Chestnut Street, where Ghost Walk Riverside takes place a couple nights in late October every year.
