Riverside Halloween Events 2019: Reichland Asylum Haunted House
This free home haunt open October 18-19, 25-26, 30-31. Their preview presentation at this year’s Midsummer Scream was very impressive, so this one should be worth a visit. The address is 3980 Bandini Avenue in Riverside. Check details here: facebook.com/ReichlandAsylum.
Riverside Halloween Itinerary 2019: Haydenville Haunter
We visited here after the haunt season as the display remained open for a select few lucky souls. We found an impressive western town with plenty of unforeseen scares, which started off with an exploding mine; all built by a single Man with one injured hand believe it or not. We look forward to returning to this gem of a Pro-Home Haunt; this time for its full production! This was definitely worth the drive out especially if you appreciate set decor. Haydenville Haunter is located at 23291 Park Lane Ct. Moreno Valley, CA. For their latest dates and times for 2020, check them out here for more info: https://www.facebook.com/haydenvillehomehaunter/
Riverside Halloween Itinerary 2019: Desert Decay Manor
Once in a while, we like to do something crazy like head 2 hours away for a single haunt. Well since Desert Decay Manor gave us a walk-through tour in December; we couldn’t miss it! With the ability to keep the haunt and walk-through up all year round; we were able to take advantage of that and see how it pretty much was during the Halloween season. DDM picked up where it left off from Midsummer Scream, the major difference was that you can see the whole “house”. We were genuinely impressed by the sets, decor, little intricacies that made the “set” – like real scorpions and insects found only in the desert. If you didn’t know, you would’ve thought this haunt was just a large graveyard when standing in the front of the property. However, once you enter the “doors” of the manor, you’ll understand why it’s called Desert Decay Manor. With the location in the desert, it definitely added to the feel and the theme of the graveyard and haunted house. DDM is located at Calico Ave and Chaparral Rd, Whitewater, California 92282. We look forward to the haunt this season with Actors! Check them out here for more info: https://desertdecaymanor.com/
