This haunted Griffith Park hayride once again returns to the mid-’80s fictitious town of Midnight Falls, which borrows a little bit of the road culture of Sons of Anarchy and the isolation of Twin Peaks.
The Old Zoo tradition, which has been running for well over a decade now, centers on a relatively lengthy hayride, which runs on select nights from September 23 to October 31. The premise: A witch has summoned creatures that’ve hidden themselves among Halloween decorations in the town’s foothills.
The event’s various other attractions will be centered around the jack-o’-lantern–filled Midnight Falls Town Square, with a creaky old funeral parlor set up in the Midnight Mortuary haunted house as well the (S)Laughterhouse maze.
