Halloween Events Continue with Safety in Mind

October 19, 2020 Leave a Comment

Let the Spooky Festivities Begin.

Even with a pandemic, local Halloween events are popping up throughout the county. Businesses and individuals are rising to the challenge and are finding innovative ways to celebrate Halloween while social distancing and adhering to health and safety guidelines. Here are just a few examples:

Urban Legends of Southern California

We’re all about the drive-throughs these days and now Halloween is lending itself to an innovative form of the concept. Urban Legends of Southern California is a drive-through Halloween haunt at the OC Fair & Event Center running 24 nights (Wednesday to Sunday evenings) from Oct. 1 through Nov. 1. The 45-minute long immersive experience is inspired by local urban legends and sets out to bring creatures and terrors to life through special effects and live performances, all while guests are safely in their cars. Though there are no age restrictions, the event is recommended for those 13 and over. A special Little Legends Night will be offered for families with children under 13 to enjoy a less scary Halloween experience on Oct. 31 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. | urbanlegendshaunt.com

Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween

Sadly, Knott’s Scary Farm was cancelled this year and Knott’s Berry Farm is still closed (as of printing). But Knott’s Berry Farm has developed some fun and innovative food and entertainment opportunities for the community. Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween is a family-friendly outdoor food and retail experience celebrating the Halloween season and fall on Fridays through Sundays through Nov. 1. Children and adults can dress up in festive costumes and experience themed food, exclusive event merchandise and an all-new “Into the Fog” art show. With a junior tasting card, young guests will have the chance to take a trip through the fully themed Camp Snoopy Trick-or-Treat Trail. All activities will be conducted with safety and social distancing protocols in place. | knotts.com

Pirate’s Cave Haunt 

Pirate’s Cave Haunt is a family-friendly home haunt in Orange returning for its 21st year of offering fun scares to the community. The haunt has adjusted to the need for social distancing by creating a unique walk-up yard display. This year guests will learn the origin story of the pirates through a 6-minute multi-screen video presentation synced to lighting effects, props, special effects and live actors. There are more nights open this year to help thin out big crowds. Masks are recommended for attendees. The Pirate’s Cave Haunt runs Oct. 24, 25, 30, 31 and Nov. 1 from 7-10 p.m. A $1 donation per person is suggested but not required. | piratescavehaunt.wixsite.com/piratescavehaunt
