HALLOWEEN EVENTS IN LOS ANGELES are defined into these categories:

THEME PARK HALLOWEEN ATTRACTIONS: These are year-round entertainment centers that put on special Halloween events during October, usually involving multiple haunted mazes. Click here for a list of Theme Park Haunts. Click here for our recommendations about which ones to attend.
HALLOWEEN HAUNTED HOUSES: These are seasonal Halloween attractions put on by people who specialize in scaring eager trick-or-treaters. Typically, these haunted houses feature 1 to 3 walk-through mazes. Click here for a list of pro haunts in and around Los Angeles.
HALLOWEEN YARD HAUNTS: These are amateur Halloween haunts , usually decorated yards although some include walk-through mazes similar to professional “haunted houses.” Many feature professional-looking effects. Most are open on Halloween and one or two nights before or after. Click here for yard haunt listings.
COMMUNITY HALLOWEEN HAUNTS: These tend to be semi-professional Halloween events, put on in churches or community centers, that charge a fee or request a donation to benefit some local cause.
HALLOWEEN EVENTS FOR CHILDREN: These are small Halloween events, usually taking place as a sort of “sideshow” at year-round attractions open for normal business. This category is a bit of a judgment call, as one could argue that it applies to Disney’s Halloweentime and Legoland’s Brick-or-Treat. We also include adult-oriented haunted attractions that feature kid-safe matinee performances.
OTHER HALLOWEEN EVENTS: Tours, hikes, parties – anything that does not fit into the other categories.
