If you thought theme parks couldn’t have a dark side, think again. In October, Universal Studios transforms itself into a creepy wonderland of horrors, with over-the-top settings and scream-worthy attractions. Horror-movie fans can experience their favorite shows and movies first-hand with interactive mazes like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Walking Dead, where visitors need to outrun hordes of zombies on the all-new Terror Tram. With additional shows, rides and “scare zones,” you’ll be sorry you entered! While you’re in the area, be sure to check out the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval, where half a million Halloween revelers flood Santa Monica Boulevard on Halloween day.
