The Willows from JFI Productions has combined the haunted house and dinner theater experiences and elevated it to a new level. The part-interactive, part-theatrical performance experience takes place in a 10,000 square-foot mansion with a group limited to just 18 guests. The Willows is the brainchild of the people behind Creep LA and has become such a popular production and tickets sell out quickly every year. Many of Maas’ readers, or “Maassassins” (these days, a fanbase isn’t a fanbase if it doesn’t have a quippy name), are relative newcomers to her work.

Later, when Maas is surrounded by fans still reeling from her surprise arrival, it seems clear from the adoring looks on their faces that’s ultimately not what they’ve decided to share with (or demand of) her. But it’s all in keeping with what defines this symbiotic relationship—they trust her to carry their favorite stories forward just as she trusts them to continue returning to her characters and worlds. Bob Baker Marionette Theater is the oldest children’s theater company in Los Angeles and one of the few remaining marionette theaters left. Halloween is a great time to check out the puppetry at this theater, whether or not it is your first time. The theater will be performing a family-friendly Halloween Spooktacular, an hour-long show with over one hundred puppets.
Ukraine's prime minister says, if passed, $60B U.S. aid package will be critical
As the Starborn heir, Bryce is able to obtain Silene's third of Theia's power from the chamber and returns to Midgard with the Starsword and Truth-Teller shortly afterward. Theia used the Harp and the Horn to open a portal to Hel, having learned that the planet had once overthrown the Asteri, and began plotting with one of its princes, Aidas. She then allied with the humans she had previously been trying to conquer and, together with the armies of Hel, they all marched against the forces of the Asteri, which were led by Pelias. During a brutal final battle, Theia used the Harp to transfer a third of her power to each of her daughters and then gave them the Harp and the Horn, instructing them to return to Prythian and seal the way behind them.
Rooftop Cinema Club
In addition to the mile-long trail of glowing pumpkins and the opportunity to enjoy the garden itself at night, there will be Halloween-themed sculptures, parking carving demonstrations, a hay maze and harvest-themed food and drink offerings. At House of Spirits, guests can sip on drinks while exploring a haunted, abandoned theatre. Just enjoy the ambiance if you’re skittish, or venture deeper and interact with the actors and props if you’re adventurous.
From the decor to the costumed live performers, there is plenty of Instagram fodder at this fun spot. It’s more about the experience than the food here, but rest assured the food and cocktail presentations are on theme. One of LA’s favorite family Halloween attractions for more than a decade, the Haunted Hayride is back again at Griffith Park this year. There will be the iconic wagon hayride (of course), and guests can also walk around the fictional town of Midnight Falls for trick-or-treating and scare zones, tour the mortuary and more. Monte Revolta and His Band of the Living Dead will also be entertaining guests with 30-minute shows every night.
Watch a slate of horror films from one of the prettiest rooftops in Hollywood at this outdoor screenings series. The Montalbán’s Halloween block includes showings of Scream, Sweeney Todd, Night of the Living Dead, The Shining, Sleepy Hollow, Poltergeist and more. Maas has yet to announce when her next book will be released — though she did hint she was writing the next "ACOTAR" book in a recent Instagram post — but based on her recent sales, it's safe to assume her popularity won't be waning anytime soon.

Ukraine invasion — explained
Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he’s in the Asteri’s dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce’s fate. He’s desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri’s leash, his hands are quite literally tied. In recent years, several publishers have also opened imprints dedicated to romance and fantasy titles, like Entangled's Red Tower imprint, which publishes "Fourth Wing," and the romance-centric imprint Bramble from Tor.
"He needs to keep his troops supplied there. Ukraine can make that supply route much less efficient and thereby hinder Russian military operations." John Herbst, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, says the military package is significant for reasons that go well beyond the weapons themselves. Ukraine's limited air defenses have performed extremely well over the past two years, according to military analysts, but the country has been vulnerable to attacks on cities and the power grid recently.

Circana, which tracks book sales, also reported that it's currently the bestselling novel of 2024. She also confirmed that there will be a fourth Crescent City book, although it's further down on what she referred to as the "taxiing line" of her upcoming projects. Silene explains that the High Fae of Prythian were slaves to the Daglan for 5,000 years before the uprising of Theia and her lover Fionn. Using the immensely powerful magical objects known as the Dread Trove (the Mask, the Harp, the Crown, and the Horn) as well as the Cauldron, Theia and Fionn defeated the Daglan and became Queen and High King of Prythian. Centuries later, Theia gave birth to Silene and her older sister Helena within five years of each other. Bryce made the jump to Prythian after she, her mate, Hunt Athalar, and her half-brother, Ruhn Danaan, were captured inside the Crystal Palace of the Asteri, the parasitic god-like conquerors that rule over Bryce's homeworld of Midgard.
Four miniature cocktails are included with a standard ticket, but you can upgrade your ticket for more, and additional food and drinks will be available for purchase. Well, alright, a lot of them are, but in addition to haunted houses and spooky screenings you’ll also find some family-friendly activities and trick-or-treating opportunities. The prolific romantasy author has written three series — "Throne of Glass," "A Court of Thorns and Roses," and "Crescent City" — all of which feature fae, magical adventures, and steamy romance. She released the third book in the "Crescent City" series, "House of Flame and Shadow," in January.
This immersive theater experience is hosted by the Downtown Repertory Theater Company who previously put on a similar immersive show called Witch! In this Halloween-themed event, guests will have one-on-one encounters with performers and explore a haunted mausoleum and abandoned chapel. Complimentary drinks will be offered before the show, and comfortable clothing and walking shoes are recommended (we’re serious about the exploring part). Encounter free-roaming monsters, terrifying mazes—spanning themes like a twisted carnival and an alien-inhabited space station—a “boo-fet” dinner and all sorts of other haunted houses and attractions at the OC theme park.

Make it a dinner date—Rooftop Cinema Club allows guests to bring their own food from outside, although drinks must be purchased on-site. Since temperatures can drop in the evening, we also recommend bringing your own blanket. Knott’s Berry Farm’s annual Halloween experience, the aptly named Knott’s Scary Farm, is known to be one of the amusement parks that goes all out for Halloween and it is returning now for its 49th year. This Halloween season, there will be 17 different spooky experiences including nine haunted mazes and an improvisational puppet show. Of course, there will be more scare zones throughout the park and the rides will be running for a different kind of thrill.
Ukraine says the aid is critical as it seeks to regain momentum on the battlefield from Russia. Walk across the grounds of the scenic King Gillette Ranch as the Santa Monica Mountains hideaway is illuminated with thousands of hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns. Nights of the Jack returns with an on-foot, mile-long trail this year (with food trucks and a “Spookeasy,” too). Timed tickets are required each night; expect to spend an hour to an hour and a half there. The San Bernardino rave scene injects itself with a bit of Halloween flair at this annual music fest. Insomniac Events—the group behind EDC and the Wonderland series—is setting up multiple stages at the NOS Events Center; headliners include Above & Beyond, AFROJACK, Armin van Buuren, DJ Snake, Kaskade, ZEDD and more.
