Spooky Doings


Having a hard time scaring up some Halloween fun? kuaptic's got some ideas that don't involve going to amusement parks (cause they can scare up enough business on their own.)

The Queen Mary
Supposedly one of the most of haunted places in Southern California, the Queen Mary throws Shipwrecked, a Halloween bash, much like the parks with scary "ghosts" and mazes, but at least it's in an authentic haunting zone.
1126 Queen's Highway, Long Beach, CA

Dia De Los Muertos at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary
They pull out all the stops for this Day of the dead fest, held on Halloween proper, with crazy costumes, live music and food, not to mention "artisans." You know what that means! Tcochkes!
6000 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA

West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval
No Halloween list is complete without mentioning the debauchery on Santa Monica Boulevard. Drag queens, families, fabulous costumes and rated x smurfs (oh my!) It is a must. Budget enough time to seriously serch for parking though, cause it's in short supply.
Santa Monica Boulevard btw. Doheny and La Cienega

Dia de Los Muertos at Olvera Street
This one is actually on All Soul's Day (11/1), the traditional Day of the dead, the way the ancient Aztecs did, with ceremonies, colorful altars, marigolds, sugra skull candy and more tchotchkes! All among one of the oldest parts of the city.

Hallowed Haunting Grounds
Deep in the valley you'll find a whole haunted block, replete with a tree of the dead, swirly fog and bone chilling sound effects, this free attraction is the way to go!
4343 Babcock Ave Studio City, CA
