Halloween is fast approaching and America is the place to celebrate. Originating with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts, Halloween has over time evolved into dressing up, trick-or-treating and carving pumpkins.

There are plenty of events that offer tourists the opportunity to revel in the festivities throughout the States. Here are five of my favourite events in Los Angeles. What's your favourite?

1. Knotts Scary Farm

Knotts Berry Farm transforms into Knotts Scary Farm with free-roaming monsters, haunted mazes and more than 1,000 horrifying creatures lurking in the fog.

With spooky rides, shows and attractions, visitors will be scared for hours. Don't miss the timber Mountain Log Ride where mysterious creatures lurk as you venture past the Calico Coffin Creeper Band and the town's Green Witch before splashing down Skull Mountain through a labyrinth of jack-o-lanterns.



Satisfy your appetite with Frankenstein's Intestines Green Funnel Cake, Buffalo Bat Wings and a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Milkshake.

This is one spooky event and described as 'a nightmare you can't wake up from'. This is not recommended for children under 13 years of age.

Knotts Scary Farm is open on select nights between 19 September and 2 November, 2019.

Location: Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park
Price: From $45

2. Disneyland

The Oogie Boogie Bash has sold out this year but there are plenty of other Halloween activities throughout the park.



The Main Street Pumpkin Festival, costumed characters and spooky touches are definitely worth the visit. The spook-tacular festivities continue with the Halloween Screams show with soaring flames, projections of rising ghosts and on selected nights, fireworks.

3. Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Studios

Halloween Horror Nights is an annual event with mazes and scare zones. From 24 October 2019 until 3 November 2919, guests will be able to navigate a Stranger Things maze plus mazes themed on Ghostbusters, Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Creepshow.

Select rides will also be open including Jurassic World, The Simpsons Rideā„¢, Revenge of the Mummy and Transformers 3D.

Don't miss the Jabbawockeez perform with their gravity-defying choreography and amazing special effects.
