There are thousands of hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns arranged in various themes, from local sites (like the Hollywood sign) to classic Fright Night displays (like a cemetery). We recommend having your kid put on their costume before you go, so you’ll have some great pics for the family album (and look like you actually made an effort this Halloween, even if the night itself turns out to be a bust). The Tunnel of Terror back to two locations this year, although it’s moving its Fontana operations to Lakewood. It's worth the drive to Anaheim or Lakewood to experience a haunted car wash in which ghouls tease, taunt and torment you even while you're in line to enter the soapy and scary drive-through.

Crescent City (fantasy series)

This immersive theater experience is hosted by the Downtown Repertory Theater Company who previously put on a similar immersive show called Witch! In this Halloween-themed event, guests will have one-on-one encounters with performers and explore a haunted mausoleum and abandoned chapel. Complimentary drinks will be offered before the show, and comfortable clothing and walking shoes are recommended (we’re serious about the exploring part). Encounter free-roaming monsters, terrifying mazes—spanning themes like a twisted carnival and an alien-inhabited space station—a “boo-fet” dinner and all sorts of other haunted houses and attractions at the OC theme park.

Halloween events in Los Angeles for spooky fun

Referring to Ukraine, he added, "I'm making sure the shipments start right away — in the next few hours, literally, a few hours," Biden said. This is one of the largest Halloween street parties in the world, and there’s really no better place to be on October 31st. Sure, the crowd is huge (like, a half-million people huge) and a bit belligerent, but the amazing display of costumes and general merry-making spirit deem it at least a worthy stop, if not your main destination for the evening.

Costumes are encouraged and whether you bring the kids or not, it’s sure to be a fun and special experience to check out this historic puppet theater. The theme parks are back with a full lineup of Halloween events this year, and Universal Studios will have their Halloween Horror Nights on select nights starting from September 8 to October 31. In addition to the rides, there will be more than half a dozen haunted mazes with themes like Stranger Things and The Last of Us. The tram tour is also transformed into The Terror Tram complete with actors jumping at the tram to scare you. The Walt Disney Concert Hall holds a showing of a horror film classic accompanied by organ on Halloween night and this year they’re showing the 1925 silent film version of The Phantom of the Opera. The film will be accompanied by the concert hall’s monster pipe organ, played by Clark Wilson, one of the most prominent organ virtuosos and conservators.

The family-friendly ghoulish pirate show includes a three-course dinner starting from $68.95 per adult and $41.95 for children. Every year, Haunted Little Tokyo turns the area into a ghoulish maze of Halloween-themed pop-ups, walking tours and performances. This year, you can embark on a ghost tour (Oct 22 5–6pm), partake in a scavenger hunt (Oct 28 1–5pm) and dance the evening away at a block party (Oct 28 1–5pm). & L.P., is serving much more than handcrafted cocktails and modern American bites. This October, head to the rooftop for dinner-and-a-movie screenings of Scream, Get Out, American Psycho, Practical Magic and more, including a Hocus Pocus dress-up event on October 30.

Pelias killed Theia and took possession of the Starsword, and Helene remained in Midgard with the Horn after sending Silene back to Prythian with the Harp. Even with her new title mere hours away from release, a faction of the Book Club Bar crowd is already thinking about the future of the Maas-verse rather than wondering if the long-awaited crossover will play out as they’ve hoped. Some variation of “please write faster” is a common refrain when I ask what they would tell Maas if they ever got the chance to talk to her. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate. He's desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri's leash, his hands are quite literally tied.

Ukrainian military officers have spoken about Russian artillery rounds outnumbering Ukrainian fire by up to 10-to-1. They say Ukrainian forces have had to ration shells, and in some cases, ran out of ammunition and had to retreat. As a result, Russia has been on the offensive in recent months, though its battlefield gains have been minimal. The Pentagon immediately announced more than 20 different types of weapons and military equipment that will be sent to Ukraine in an initial tranche valued at around $1 billion. Biden noted that the bill includes $9 billion for humanitarian assistance worldwide, including $1 billion for Gaza.

About the Author

"By the end of this book, you get the full extent of how these worlds connect to each other," Maas says. "As for how that will play out in future books across my various series, we shall see." Nearly 12 years—and many thousands of pages—into her career as a published author, the appetite Maas’ readers have for her work is seemingly insatiable. In March 2023, Maas signed a new four-book deal with Bloomsbury on top of a pre-existing three-book contract that included House of Flame and Shadow. It would be shocking if announcements of more TV and film adaptations don’t follow in due course.

I hear from several fans who say they first picked up one of her books in the last few years, with some citing the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic as the catalyst for the start of their Maas-verse journey. But there are recurring themes that run throughout their stories—that Maas reinvigorated their love for reading, or validated their affinity for the fantasy genre, or made them feel less alone. There’s a new Halloween fest down in Long Beach this year and it came by way of Shaq—yes, Shaquille O’Neal.

The Willows from JFI Productions has combined the haunted house and dinner theater experiences and elevated it to a new level. The part-interactive, part-theatrical performance experience takes place in a 10,000 square-foot mansion with a group limited to just 18 guests. The Willows is the brainchild of the people behind Creep LA and has become such a popular production and tickets sell out quickly every year. Many of Maas’ readers, or “Maassassins” (these days, a fanbase isn’t a fanbase if it doesn’t have a quippy name), are relative newcomers to her work.
