We picked out five super cool Halloween events happening in Los Angeles for you to check out.
Just don’t stray too far from your group…
Where: Descanso Gardens
What: Carved is a family-friendly event for all ages. For three weeks in October, hundreds of carved pumpkins will line the Camellia Forest. This year’s event will be bigger and better than before, with all kinds of new activities.
Along with the pumpkins, the ever-popular pumpkin house, hay maze, and holiday-themed food and beverages will return. Guests can also enjoy UV “black light” experiences, artists sculpting pumpkins, and a special Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) installation at the Amphitheater.
Carved tickets are $20–$26 for Descanso Gardens members and $32–$38 for non-members.
Where: Vaughan Hall
What: This is an immersive theatrical cocktail soirée, where adults do Halloween in a haunted mansion. Enjoy miniature craft cocktails and enjoy a night of macabre magic, tarot readings, strange roaming specters, secret games and so much more! Over 50,000 guests have already enjoyed House of Spirits, and now you can expect the unexpected in Los Angeles this year.
Standard Ticket: includes full access to the experience and 4 mini craft cocktails – $65

Premier Ticket: includes full access to the experience with expedited entry and first entry. Also includes 4 mini craft cocktails, plus a bonus fifth craft cocktail with a chocolate pairing to go with every cocktail curated by a chocolate sommelier – $84
Where: Griffith Park
What: Within the foothills of Midnight Falls, the leaves turn brown and the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. The Witch of the Woods has cast her spell to summon the spirits of the underworld to cross over and assimilate into form.
The Hayride leads to a thrilling adventure of horrors afflicting the town. Dazed within the spell cast upon them, the Witch commands her army of crops and flesh to seek revenge on the people that have cast her out. The Spirit of Halloween comes to life surrounding helpless victims brave enough to board The Hayride.
A general admission ticket is $39.99 and gets you access to all the attractions including the hayride, the Midnight Mortuary, The Monty Revolte Show, and more!
A hayride-only ticket is $29.99.
Where: Ace Hotel
What: They’re back for the hugely popular annual Halloween mash-up of film and opera at the Theatre at Ace Hotel. This time they’ve got the Boris Karloff shocker on the big screen, complete with a mad scientist, bumbling henchman, and mob of torch-bearing villagers.
This 1931 masterpiece of horror was originally released without a musical score, which inspired composer Michael Shapiro to fill in the void by creating an original new soundtrack. As the classic film plays on the big screen, he’ll conduct his gorgeous and atmospheric score, performed live by the LA Opera Orchestra, making this the ultimate audience experience for a truly iconic film.
Tickets: $49 – $109
