Halloween Home Haunts: The Best Yard Displays, Garage Haunts, & Walk-Through Mazes in Los Angeles
Bank account busted by expensive Halloween events and attractions? Visit the many free Halloween Home Haunts in Los Angeles!
Halloween in Los Angeles is a special time, when horror enthusiasts create elaborate yard displays in order to terrify appreciative trick-or-treaters just for the love of doing it. These amateur efforts are typically decorated to resemble graveyards and/or haunted houses. Some offer walk-through mazes. A few feature elaborate mechanical and visual effects, timed with audio and music to create self-contained shows.
Although we refer to Halloween Home Haunts as “amateur attractions” (because they are non-profit), some feature professional-quality makeup, sets, costumes, and special effects. Home Haunts with live actors tend to be open on select nights, usually weekends and Halloween. Decorated yards often run nightly, sometimes starting by mid-month or even earlier.
Almost all Halloween Home Haunts are free and open to the public. Some accept donations, either to off-set their costs or to benefit local charities.

Best Halloween Home Haunts & Yard Haunts
Some Halloween Home Haunts rank among the Best Halloween Attractions in Los Angeles. The list below includes haunts with an established reputation for quality. Keep in mind that many of them will be radically revising their presentations for Halloween 2020 in order to protect their visitors from Covid-19. Generally, this means that walk-through home haunts will be eschewed in favor of yard haunt displays.

Halloween Home Haunts & Yard Haunts: Alphabetical List
Below is an alphabetical listing of major Halloween Home Haunts and Yard Haunts in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Last-minute additions are added in Other Home Haunts below. Haunts for which we have little or no information are listed at bottom.
Generally speaking, we use “home haunts” to refer to houses with a walk-through haunted path by costumed characters. “Yard Haunts,” as the name suggests, indicates decorated yards, usually (though not necessarily) without live actors.

Halloween Home Haunts & Yard Haunts: Neighborhood Trick-or-Treating
In some Los Angeles neighborhoods, Haunt-Seekers will find not merely a single yard haunt but an entire block decorated for the season. The impact on these streets tends to be cumulative, so there may not be individual homes worthy of a discrete entry in our listings. If you are more interested in trick-or-treating than pausing to admire an individual haunted house, you might want to check out these spooky street scenes with high haunt-density:
