Halloween is around the corner, which means it’s time to celebrate all the thrilling haunts around Southern California.

During the Halloween season, college students look for ways to get both a fun and frightening experience.

Brooke Nogy, 19-year-old psychology major, is planning a trip to Horror Nights with friends later this month.

“I’m just going with friends, just to tag along,” said Nogy. “I’ve never been to Horror Nights. I heard that it is much scarier than Fright Fest at Six Flags.”

Universal Studios:

Horror Nights at Universal Studios is well known among Los Angeles residences, reported by the LA Times last year. “Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is the best haunted theme park event in Southern California,” LA Times said. Attendees can walk through terrifying mazes, see an intense live show and go on high-octane rides. Horror’s Nights will be running through every Thursday-Sunday in the month of October and the first day of November. General admission tickets are $85.

Dark Harbor aboard the Queen Mary:

Next on the list is the Dark Harbor aboard the Queen Mary, in Long Beach. Queen Mary is supposedly one of the most haunted ships, so why not add some monsters, mazes and a “haunting hour” to the mix? Guests can stroll into mazes and even stay the night on the boat for a never-ending ghoulish experience. Dark Harbor runs through the entire month of October on Friday’s and Saturday’s from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Tickets are $20 at the door or can be bought online.

Haunted World states that Knott’s has been around for over 30 years, and it has built a reputation among ghostly places.

Haunted Hayride:

Don’t forget the Haunted Hayride in Griffith Park. Hayride was once an old zoo, but now abandoned and is out of operation. During Halloween, it turns into a daunting experience. The park is separated by five scare zones: LA Haunted Hayride (all new from the ground up), In-Between Dark Maze (with an all new twist), Trick or Treat, House of Shadows and Purgatory. According to Haunted Hayride’s website, it is not recommended to bring children to this place; it is the most death defying incidents you will ever encounter. Tickets will be $30 and for GA tickets is $43. Hours of operation are on weekends from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. For more information please visit http://losangeleshauntedhayride.com/about/.

Disneyland:

Lastly, Halloween at Disneyland is one the most “boo-friendly” attractions that happens this time of year. Celebrating Halloween there happens all month long with activities going around different parts of the park. Certain nights will feature Mickey’s Halloween Party where guests can arrive three hours early to roam the parks and a special party commencement with Mickey and his friends. If guests don’t feel like doing that, they can go to Disneyland on a regular day to the park and enjoy all the spooky decorations throughout the park. One of the most popular rides, The Haunted Mansion turns into The Nightmare Before Christmas. Hours of operation at Disneyland are from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. Ticket prices for a single park $99 and for a park hopper tickets it is $155.
