Marina Del Rey has been quietly throwing stand-out events for the community for years now, turning a semi-hidden park into a wonderland of seasonal delights. Last year, we got the chance to see one of their many events, the Marina Spooktacular – an entirely free, and crazy fun attraction for haunt lovers of all ages […]
Rolling down Maricopa street on Halloween night, parking isn’t the only nightmare in Torrance. There is a giant line outside one of the most well-known houses of the neighborhood. For over 20 years now, The Haunted Shack has been providing what they call a “Free to the Fearless” experience. On a holiday well known for […]
