OLD TOWN HAUNT LEGEND: Located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, this haunt (which bills itself as “Pasadena’s biggest and scariest”) is situated in a venerable building that (according to the website) is a bank that was robbed decades ago: the robbers tried to escape through catacombs underground but were found horribly managled by some unknown agency. Since then the catacombs have been closed, but now they are re-opened for you to explore.
OLD TOWN HAUNT FEATURES: Old Town Haunt has a distinctive, subterranean setting that makes it unique among Halloween attraction in Los Angeles. You enter by walking down darkened stairs into dismal catacombs illuminated only by faint, flickering light. The sets and props are impressively elaborate and convincing as you explore the labyrinth of tunnels (including a tiny crawlspace). Haunted by numerous ghoulish ghosts and angry apparitions, the underground haunt is more than extensive enough to give you your money’s worth.
RELATED HAUNTS: Before his untimely death, Old Town Haunt was co-owned by Bob Koritzke, who also owned or co-owned Spooky House , Seaside Haunt, Fearplex, and Skull Kingdom.
