Hours are from 11am to 5pm on Saturdays and from 11am to 3pm on Sundays.

Past installments of October Shadows have featured contributions contributions from such Halloween horror luminaries as Rick Baker, William Stout, Stephen Chiodo, Peter Von Sholly, and many, many others. Check out our video of last year’s October Shadows to get a glimpse of what may be in store this year.

By the way, did we mention that the exhibition is set up in the art gallery of an actual mausoleum? You can’t get more ghoulish than that! To be fair, however, Mountain View Mausoleum and Cemetery is more reverential than revolting, with spiritually themed decor designed to offer comfort to mournful visitors. (This is also the location, once again, for the annual Wicked Lit Theatre Festival, which will stage a series of three short plays within and around the mausoleum, during the Halloween season – making Mountain View just about the most haunted Halloween hot spot in Los Angeles.)
