ATTRACTIONS: The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride offers three separate attractions.
Haunted Hayride: A real Halloween treat for fright fans who want to enjoy their scares in the open air. Climb aboard a tractor-pulled trailer that winds its way through woods haunted by monsters of every size and shape, some ten feet tall. Travel past cemeteries, corn rows, and old dark house; even go inside a dark carnival filled with crazy clowns. See demented maniacs, mad doctors, zombies cannibals, werewolves, and living scarecrows. Is that Sadako climbing out of the well, looking for victims? And is that Jason Voorhees atop the hill, ready to attack? What other strange, unseen things lurk in the shadows, unseen but ready to attack at any moment?- Ghost Stories: Take a trip back to the old school days of s’mores, candy apples, and hot apple cider around the campfire while listening to haunting tales of mystery, urban legends, and those tales that everyone swears are true. Los Angeles Haunted Hayride storytellers will range from professional “scare masters” to some of your most favorite celebrity personalities. The Ghost Stories will feature readings from Tales from the Crypt, Twilight Zone, and Halloween Classics for young and old.
Haunted Carnival: After you purchase your tickets and begin walking toward the entrance to the hayride, you will pass a series of booths offering Halloween variations on familiar carnival fun and games: for the Ring Toss, your target is the tail of a black cat; instead of knocking over bottles with a baseball you know over skulls. Demented clowns wander the pathway, menacing young and old, but not enough to scare off families who bring kids too young for the hayride itself. There is a house of mirrors, a short (in terms of height) “Hey Maze” for kids, pumpkin carving, and booths selling coffee, coco, and ice cream.
HAUNT LEGEND: In the 1920’s, King Gillette was known for hosting the most prestigious parties in all of Los Angeles County on his sprawling 500 acre ranch. On the night of the last ball ever witnessed on the ranch, the inmates from a local asylum escaped and invaded the ball. Guests including Los Angeles’ high profile and elite ran from the mansion to get to their cars in the hopes of escaping, however, the inmates were much faster and more vicious. Only few escaped with their lives. It has been said that on most nights in October, you can see the frantic guests searching the King Gillette Ranch still looking for their cars.
