Hollywood Gothique

You are browsing the archives of Woodland Hills.

Hollywood Gothique is usually a bit reluctant to post Halloween videos that we did not create ourselves, but Fallen Angel Cemetery always does such a good job that we cannot resist. This amateur yard haunt takes a classic approach to Halloween – spooky, not gory. The decorated front yard is full of props, enhanced by [...]

One of the best Halloween yard haunts in Los Angeles returns for another season of spookery. The House at Haunted Hill features elaborate mechanical and lighting effects synchronized to recorded music and narration, telling the tragic tale of a Hollywood starlet who had the misfortune to marry a man whose late wife apparently never read the part of the wedding vow that stats “till death do us part.”

The miraculous mirrored attraction opens its gates in Woodland Hills once more, on October 31, 2012, from 6:00pm to midnight. The Forest of Mirrors features a cemetery that seems endlessly extended thanks to a clever illusion: the forking pathways lead to arches, but the arches actually contain mirrors carefully placed so that you do not see your own reflection until you are almost ready to step through the looking glass.

For the kids there are such fun activities as pumpkin carving and hayrides. For Halloween freaks, there are the Factory of [...]

FrightFair ScreamPark is looking for monsters to haunt, harass, and harangue foolish victims this Halloween. If you think you have what it takes to scare Los Angeles fright fans silly, then this is the job for you. But beware: one of the highlights of this haunted attraction has always been the aggressive nature of its [...]

Back in 2007, The House at Haunted Hill upgraded their annual Halloween yard haunt, incorporating a story (told with synchronized music, dialogue, and narration) to tie together its elaborate mechanical and lighting effects. The result is impressive: although we rather miss the old version of the haunt, in which you could simply peruse the yard [...]

We know you’re out there, you prevaricators and procrastinators, wasting the precious days of October until Halloween Night rolls around, when suddenly you realize: This is it, the last chance to visit this year’s Halloween Theme Park Attractions, Halloween Haunted Houses & Hayrides, Halloween Yard Haunts, Community Halloween Haunts, Halloween Haunts for Children, Halloween Parties [...]

The previous installment of our annual Halloween Yard Haunt Odyssey took us through two terrifying mazes in Burbank, The Backwoods Maze and Rotten Apple 907’s Space Oddessey. Moving on to Tarzana and Woodland Hills, we encounter a trio of Halloween Yard Haunts that are less interested in shocks and surprise than in spooky shivers.

The caretaker at Fallen Angel Cemetery sent us this video, showcasing the souls of the damned who have been cast down to the nether regions. We don’t usually post videos from outside sources, but this one does a good job of conveying the atmosphere and look of this nifty little yard haunt. The only aspect [...]
