Halloween House Hopping in Los Angeles: 12 Homes and 5 Family Events

By Erika · The Mommy Compass · Published October 13, 2026 · Sources checked October 13, 2026

2026 seasonal guide. Each home and event has its own visiting dates below.

Coming from our Halloween House Hopping graphic? Start with the same eight homes below, then explore four more displays and five scheduled family events. This guide covers the Los Angeles area, including the Valley, Burbank, Toluca Lake, Glendale, Santa Clarita, Eagle Rock and Santa Monica.

Choose the kind of Halloween your family enjoys: a colorful sidewalk display, moving props, a designated family haunted house session or a daytime community celebration. A home display season range does not establish opening every night, and tickets or capacity can change.
