The Haunted Hotel (Downtown)

There is a reason that the Haunted Hotel is the longest-running haunted house in San Diego: it’s SCARY! Doll islands, clown subways, torture rooms . . . this place is not for the faint of heart. It’s no wonder that the Haunted Hotel was named one of the 14 scariest hotels in the United States.

The Scream Zone (Del Mar)

The Del Mar Fairgrounds are normally the location for happy events, like the summer fair or the annual horse races. But in October, the venue is transformed into the scariest of locations, with zombies wandering the grounds and clowns playing on playgrounds. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Tickets are from $18 to $32, depending on which exhibits you choose to attend. Click here for information on the park hours.
