If you’re looking to venture beyond the big Los Angeles haunts this spooky season, it’s time to head up to the High Desert! The Apple Valley and Hesperia areas have built up a fantastic haunt community — with both professional attractions and passionate home haunts that truly bring the scares.

There’s something special about these desert haunts — the wide open skies, the creative energy, and the incredible sense of community. Many of these experiences are built by families and friends who pour their hearts (and fake blood!) into every scream and scare.

Below are several amazing haunts you can visit this season in the High Desert:

House of Horrors Hesperia

HnL Realm of Horrors Hesperia

Fear Farm Hesperia

High Desert Haunted House Apple Valley

All Saints Lunatic Asylum Apple Valley

Manor of Fears – Apple Valley

Also David Hollenbeck is creating a Halloween Light Tour Map.
