Halloween, the time when ghosts and goblins reign supreme and mere mortals get to participate in the spectacle.

Get a group together and participate in one of LA’s best tours.  The Battle for LA is a chauffeured tour which mixes a scavenger hunt, pub crawl and mystery.  Battle to reign supreme over LA with actors, suspense, complimentary drinks and more.  Their Halloween tour is even more spectacular with scary surprise lurking around the next corner.    http://www.battleforla.com/

In nearby Calabassas where each Friday and Saturday in October you can wander through the In-Between Dark Maze with new twists and turns this year.  Enter if you dare the House of Shadows or Purgatory.  If that isn’t enough to scare you then how about Death Row, Jack’s Carving Shack … ahhh, go if you dare.  It is located King Gillette Ranch 26800 West Mulholland Hwy Calabasas, CA 91302 and is open Sunday and Thursday from 7pm to 10:30pm and Friday and Saturday from 7pm to 12am.
