Start with the scare

Lock in one official event first. Then build dinner, travel and the end of the night around that reservation.

Primary anchor

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

A movie-driven theme-park event with headline haunted houses and entertainment.

Second option

Delusion

A story-led immersive horror production for visitors who want participation rather than a standard maze.

A simple route

Make a night of it

This route keeps the anchor event central and avoids turning the evening into a race.

01 · BEFORE

Studio City or Hollywood

Meet early, eat before the main queue and leave a 20-minute timing buffer.

02 · THE ANCHOR

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood

Use the official calendar for the exact date, ticket type and arrival instructions.

03 · AFTER

Keep the exit easy

Reserve time for traffic and make the post-haunt stop close to the final attraction.

Los Angeles FAQ

What are the best haunted houses near Los Angeles?

Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood and Delusion are the two verified anchors in this FrightTour guide. Always confirm current dates and tickets on each attraction’s official website.

Can I visit two Los Angeles haunted attractions in one night?

Possibly, but travel time, timed entry and queues matter. FrightTour recommends choosing one anchor first and treating a second attraction as optional unless both schedules align.

What should I check before visiting a haunted house?

Confirm the operating date, entry time, age guidance, accessibility, weather policy, parking and prohibited items directly with the venue.

Is this Los Angeles guide affiliated with the attractions?

No. FrightTour is an independent planning guide and does not operate or represent the listed attractions.
