2025 Halloween Yard Haunts

 

This guide is a curated roundup of free, family-friendly yard haunts, home displays, and haunted shows across the San Fernando Valley and nearby LA neighborhoods. Unlike ticketed theme parks, these are passion projects built by local creators who transform their homes into spooky spectacles—ranging from cinematic, effects-driven shows and actor-led walk-throughs to elaborately lit yard displays. Most are suitable for all ages, many accept optional donations (often benefiting charities), and operating nights can be limited, especially around Halloween week.  This list is centered around Lake Balboa, Reseda, Van Nuys, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Northridge, Winnetka, and Woodland Hills and other popular spots in the surrounding and Los Angeles area

 

Expect a mix of experiences: theatrical haunted shows like Hamlin Street Horror and the legendary House at Haunted Hill (status varies by source; verify before you go), polished yard displays such as The Haunt With No Name…Yet and VanOaks Cemetery, and immersive neighborhood walk-throughs like House of Horrors. Hours typically run evenings from mid-to-late October, with some displays lighting up the entire month and a few extending into early November. Everything listed is free to visit; some creators welcome donations to offset costs or support charities. Use the full list with addresses and dates to map a custom crawl—start with broader date-range displays for weeknights and save the limited-run shows for Halloween weekend.
