Time Out says

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 Griffith Park tradition, which has been running for 16 years now, centers on a relatively lengthy hayride, which runs on select nights from September 20 to November 2. The premise: A witch has summoned creatures that’ve hidden themselves among Halloween decorations in the town’s foothills. This year’s event promises the addition of escape games and a seance.

The event’s various other attractions will be centered around the jack-o’-lantern–filled Midnight Falls Town Square, with a Janelle Monáe-headlined party manor as well axe throwing, water balloon-based paintball and the Hellbilly Halloween maze.

Can I wear a costume?

No. Costumes, facepaint and props are not allowed.

How much is parking at the Haunted Hayride?

Parking is free but limited in the trio of nearby lots (Merry-Go-Round lots 1, 2 and 3). On Fridays, Saturdays and on Halloween, you can take advantage of a shuttle from the northwest corner of the much larger L.A. Zoo parking lot.
