Beverly Hills Halloween Trick-or-Treating Overview

Once a buzzing hive of Halloween activity, this area saw a decline in the number of yard displays back in 2017. Nevertheless, Beverly Hills Trick-or-Treating remains a worthwhile endeavor. Legend has it that costumed children visiting this wealthy Beverly Hills neighborhood on October 31 receive full-sized candy bars and even cash in their trick-or-treat bags, but we wouldn’t count on that happening in reality.

What you will see is a street with some lavish yard haunts draped in Halloween decor. Best of these is the famous “Beverly Hills Witch House” (actually the Spadena House), designed in 1921 by Hollywood art director Harry Oliver with the deliberate intent of simulating a storybook residence. Walking by the unruly garden and murky pond, trick-or-treaters may think they have wandered into an elaborate live-action haunted house version of “Hansel and Gretel,” but the Spadena residence looks more or less the same year-round.
