(Los Angeles, CA) The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride is back for another season with its iconic hayride, returning fan-favorite mazes, live entertainment, spooky add-on experiences, and Fallen Angel, a brand-new attraction that takes guests somewhere we’ve never quite been before.
We had the opportunity to experience the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride during its recent media night, and we absolutely adored our visit. From creepy creatures and chainsaws to rock-and-roll ghosts and A TON OF FOG, there’s plenty to keep haunt fans entertained throughout an evening in Midnight Falls.
Thank you, Los Angeles Haunted Hayride, for having us out!
Let’s take a look at some of what’s waiting for you in this cursed little Halloween town.
The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
Of course, we have to start with the attraction’s namesake!
The Haunted Hayride takes guests on an approximately 15-minute spooky journey through a variety of scenes and scares, with everything from graveyards and witches to aliens, chainsaws, and plenty of surprises along the way.
And just when you think you’ve seen it all, the attraction saves one of its most spectacular moments for the finale: dousing its riders with a TON OF FOG!!!
The hayride is so much fun, and the actors do a great job making the experience feel interactive. Don’t be surprised if a performer approaches your vehicle (or even climbs aboard) for a little extra immersion and spookiness.
The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride Mazes

Fallen Angel (New for 2026!)
Enter the haunted world of Fallen Angel, a legendary rock band whose final Halloween rehearsal ended in flames, and whose spirits still haunt the abandoned theater. When obsessive fans revive the band’s last recording, the ritual awakens something inside the walls. As the music builds and the dead return, every face becomes a possible band member… including yours.
The show must go on.
The newest maze at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride brings something genuinely different to Midnight Falls. Instead of entering this world as a victim, we are the stars. We are the objects of these devoted fans’ obsession as they desperately attempt to resurrect their beloved band – and that concept creates an experience that feels completely different from a traditional haunted maze. And I LOVED IT!
The rock-and-roll atmosphere, colorful lighting, theatrical set pieces, and headbang-worthy music all come together to create an incredibly memorable experience. There’s a certain energy to this maze that makes it feel less like you’re walking through a haunted house and more like a creepy party. Definitely don’t skip Fallen Angel!
Elvira’s Trick-or-Treat Mayhem
Enter a frightful realm of candy-coated chaos with Elvira’s Trick or Treat Mayhem. Hidden behind the facade of her shadowy new home in Midnight Falls, this haunted maze brims with bizarre surprises and ghoulish goodies, where every turn reveals tricks just as tempting as the treats. Infused with the Mistress of the Dark’s signature glamour and spine-tingling mischief, it’s Halloween mayhem brought to life.
Adding a campy twist to the event, Elvira’s Trick-or-Treat Mayhem combines classic Halloween imagery and traditions with the Mistress of the Dark’s signature glamour. There’s playful innuendo alongside creepy creatures and lighthearted chaos. This maze is so well done, and I already can’t wait for another trip through the fog to see it again!
Hellbilly Halloween
Venture deep into the backwoods of Midnight Falls where a long rumored cannibalistic family has taken in the spirit of Halloween by dishing out diabolical tricks filled with horrifying treats.
The most traditional of the three mazes, Hellbilly Halloween is packed with gore, disturbing visuals, and jump scares. But my favorite part is the talented cast. These actors do a fantastic job of reacting to guests and turning individual interactions into personalized and deeply unsettling moments.
Madame Aurora’s Seance Theatre (Add-On Show)
Running approximately 10–15 minutes, Madame Aurora’s Seance Theatre is an immersive theatrical seance that explores the history of Midnight Falls and the curse surrounding the town.
Guests get the opportunity to learn more about some of the familiar faces inhabiting Midnight Falls and discover how they became part of this strange Halloween world.
The HEART of It: Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
While I’m still relatively new to the Southern California haunted attraction community, I can confidently say that, of the three years I’ve experienced the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride, this season is my favorite. There’s a lot to love here. The Haunted Hayride delivers some genuinely fun scenery and scares, the returning mazes offer plenty of variety, and the live entertainment gives guests even more ways to enjoy their evening in Midnight Falls.
But for me, the standout is Fallen Angel. It’s different. It’s colorful. It’s weird. And most importantly, it’s fun. With Fallen Angel, the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride has created something that feels like more than just another haunted maze. It feels distinct, unique, and it’s exactly the kind of unexpected experience I love finding during haunt season. If you are on the fence about visiting the L.A. Haunted Hayride this year, let this be your sign! Plan your visit now!
