October 8, 2014
If trick-or-treating no longer brings you the thrills it once did, or if you’ve decided it’s no longer socially acceptable for your age, there are plenty of alternatives for the night of Halloween.
Dark Harbor
A little over a 30 minute drive from DBHS, the Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor returns once again to Long Beach. From 7 p.m. to midnight, a $20 ticket will give you access to all of Dark Harbor’s hair-raising mazes, rides, and shows. Favorite monsters such as the Ringmaster will be returning to haunt the visitors, with new characters like the Priestess. Two additional mazes added this year will take brave visitors into the depths of the famously haunted Queen. The doors of Dark Harbor will be open from Oct. 2 to Nov. 2.
Fall Fun Festival
In Diamond Bar, there is the annual Haunted House located at the Heritage Park Community Center. As you try to escape, the Haunted House is filled with zombies, clowns, and other monsters that will scare you. In order to get in, you must purchase a $5 punch card, you will also be given a buy one-get-one free coupon for the vendors. The location is at 2900 Brea Canyon Road, Diamond Bar, and the Haunted House will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 30-31.
Sinister Pointe
In Fullerton there is the famous Sinister Pointe attraction. The interactive maze is based on the classic urban legend, Bloody Mary. Beginning Sept. 26 and closing on Nov. 2, visitors are sent off in groups of four. However, at various points in the maze, titled Behind the Mirror, visitors are separated, leaving them to face whatever lurks in the darkness alone. Open from 7 p.m. to midnight, general admission is $17 for 15 minutes of pure fear.
