Bring on all things pumpkin spice because it’s spooky season! Temperatures are dropping, nights are getting darker and with the little rain we got, it is finally starting to feel a little like fall. With fall comes pumpkin patches, corn mazes and my favorite, haunted houses. If you are looking for some dark entertainment, you have come to the right place.
Ever heard of a haunted studio? Come experience the haunt of a real production studio in Temecula as JDS Creative Academy completely transforms into a thrilling experience. This Halloween production is put on by the actors, set designers, costume creators and dozens of volunteers who turn the studio into a giant maze, haunted theater, and scream worthy scare zone not for the faint of heart. Don’t worry, you’ll be scared for a good cause because proceeds of the event go back to at risk youth. The spooktacular event will begin October 25th at 6PM. 28069 Diaz Rd. Suite D & E Temecula, 92590
In Corona, head over to Coffin Creek, 14600 Baron Dr., The story goes: “As the flood waters subside from 2 weeks of flooding, 13 coffins were discovered in a wooded area next to River Rd and Archibald Ave in the City of Corona.” “The coffins are believed to be from the abandoned Guasti Cemetery in the City of Ontario,'' said Officer Willmans. Creepy huh? Although this flood happened in the 1930’s, the haunt forever lives on. Explore the five haunted attractions every weekend in October.
