SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — Halloween’s terrorizing side — those creep-out, haunted houses that we’ve come to love, fear and crave — is back in San Diego County!
Trick-or-treating and cute, costumed kids are, of course, on the season’s agenda. But for fear-seeking folks, who love having the wits scared out of them, 2021 will not disappoint as haunts, from amusement park extravaganzas to pop-ups and small-scale, spooky spots, are making a comeback.
Check out Patch’s annual guide to the best and brightest (or is it the darkest?) haunted experiences throughout the San Diego area.
Last-minute cancellations and changes are always possible, so double-check with organizers to make sure events are proceeding as planned.

Be brave, and Happy Halloween, from Patch!
