Los Angeles Haunted Hayride Explained

The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride is a yearly Halloween haunted hayride in Los Angeles, California, located near the city's Old Zoo in Griffith Park.[1] It was created by Ten Thirty One Productions, subsequently receiving a record Shark Tank investment from Mark Cuban,[2] [3] [4] and bought out by haunted attraction company Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group.

Opened in Calabasas, California in 2009,[5] [6] the Hayride has long been held in Griffith Park and features not only the hayride itself, but both original mazes and those based on horror intellectual property.[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hayride was reinvented as a drive-in theater attraction in San Dimas, California with wandering performers,[8] [9] [10] before returning to Griffith Park in 2021.[11] [12] [13] In recent years, the attraction has been set at a 1980s Halloween festival in the fictional town of Midnight Falls,[14] [15] which Time Out compared to Sons of Anarchy and Twin Peaks.[16]
