Chilling Haunted Houses in Orange County

Many are on hiatus this year. Some home events will be yard haunts
only. I've sized down the print of events I think aren't on... but...

Texas Chainsaw Massacre. With interactivity of course!!!
New for
2009, by the folks who been doing haunts for years.

The spirit
of Halloween is alive in the Haunted Garden at the Fullerton Arboretum. The
tours for this popular event begin at 6:30 PM both nights with the last
scheduled tour leaving at 8:30 pm. Bats and bullfrogs, vampires and
vermin, ghosts, ghouls and goblins, everything that goes “Bump” in the night
are lurking along hidden trails. Count Dracula's vampires will guide you
down the garden paths into the deciduous forest where you will witness what
it is like when the cemeteries come alive and the witches, skeletons and
ghouls come out to play. After a spooky trip through our creepy garden
paths, visitors are greeted at the Haunter's Ball with a “treat” and
Halloween fun. Haunting since 2004

The family that Haunts together, ah... has a lot of fun together.
They've been converting their garage since 1997 creating a great
neighborhood block party. It's expanded quite a bit. As always, eyeballs are steamed, not
fried. This year - "Clownz" . Not all Clowns are
friendly. Not all Clowns like children. Not all Clowns are safe to be near...
Come and visit our Circus this Halloween season. We guarantee you will NEVER
look at Clowns the same again.
As always, any missing limbs will be available for pickup in our lost and
found department.

The Haunt Hotel includes a graveyard, caretakers house and the

former Disney Studio employee and friends to give you a fun and entertaining
evening - with just a hint of haunt.
