Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

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]
