This past weekend we made the drive out to Chino, CA to check out a couple of Halloween events that had received really great word of mouth. Normally we wouldn't make the drive out this far but since we were already in OC, and a lot of the smaller haunts there don't start until this weekend, we figured we'd head inland a bit. And we are sure glad we did! They were both fantastic and worth the visit. Fear in 3DOur first stop was Fear in 3D in Chino Hills. This was our first stop because it began at 5:00pm and would give us a great head-start on our night of Halloween fun.  The entrance to the event is on the Trader Joes side of the mall  Follow the rules!   The 3D effects were pretty amazing and were some of the best we've seen.   
  Step right up! Get your tickets!  I love the way this pic turned out! 
 Don't pop the balloon!
 Which brings us to the exit!  Oddly enough, this awesome looking thing is the exit. Most people assumed it was the entrance.  You can even get a 3D picture in the middle of the maze! Dark HarvestOur second event on Saturday was just a mile or two from Fear in 3D and was Dark Harvest at Frosty's Forest. This was a full-fledged Halloween fun fair with rides, multiple corn mazes, photo ops, food and much more! We arrived a bit early since Dark Harvest didn't begin until 7:00, so we had some time to explore!  Welcome to Frosty's!    Ride and Experience tickets are available throughout the pumpkin patch!  Coaster Credit! (no, I didn't ride)  A bit of a corn maze preview with some photo ops!
  Candy Land!!  Mmm, Popcorn!
  They also had Zombie Paintball, but it didn't seem to be open during our visit.  If we had more time this would have been fun! But we'd probably still be in there. Lol 
 Creepy!  I think whoever this is recognized us. Thanks for greeting us in your creepy corn maze!  Our video of Dark Harvest. I cut out a bit of the darker spots in the corn maze, but not too many. You can use your phone flashlight in the maze, but we opted not to. We wanted the full effect! And I will say, the talent got me twice in here. Which is VERY rare considering how many Halloween events we do every year. But thank you to the ones who did. I always like to get it good at least once a season. =) If you're going to experience Dark Harvest, we HIGHLY SUGGEST getting there right at 7:00pm. Meaning, you're in line for Dark Harvest no later than 7:00pm. When we left about 7:45pm or so, the line for Dark Harvest and at the entrance to the Pumpkin patch was huge. We had such a great time at Dark Harvest. The corn maze was spectacular, each scene was unique and fun and the talent was amazing.  Related Video

Last week we finally made it out to the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride and a great return to the town of Midnight Falls. This years event is in a new location, but it seems much bigger this year. Written by Gregg Condon  The event has really outdone itself in creating the fictional town of Midnight Falls and creating a fantastic Halloween festival within that town. And even if you don't want to do the Hayride or the mazes, you can still go into the "town" to enjoy the townsfolks, the shows (featuring the amazing Monte Revolta) and of course lots of food to enjoy. We truly had a great time at this years event. Don't miss it! But get there early, parking in Griffith Park is always "fun".   Our first stop of the night was the Hayride itself. This seemed to be a bit shorter this year length-wise, but scene wise we think there were actually more. There's just more room for the event in this location and it serves the hayride very well.  Would love to drive through the hayride in this classic pickup!  We highly recommend the VIP, this can get completely full on weekends.    Lots of amazing show scenes!    And of course, clowns!  Some fun photo-ops sprinkled throughout the event  The event also features three mazes, Trick-Or-Treat, Dead End Diner and Midnight Mortuary  I think Dead End Diner was our favorite this year!  Trick-Or-Treat is always fun! Be sure to ring all the doorbells and say Trick-O-Treat!  And lastly, we have Midnight Mortuary where creatures throughout Midnight Falls have taken over a bit.  We really loved the event this year, and it's great to see the theme of the Hayride grow each and every year. We hope it continues to expand for years to come!
