GET READY TO BE SCARED!
In the safety of their own vehicles, guests will enjoy a drive-thru where scare seekers will experience immersive story-telling and terrifying sets. Guests will be entertained by live performances throughout their drive, plus experience three interactive show zones and an immersive show of lights, sound, special effects, and monsters will come alive.
The producers behind Winter Fest OC, Southern California’s annual holiday tradition, have developed an innovative and safe way for Halloween revelers and scare seekers to experience the thrills and chills of Halloween, while safely social distancing. “Urban Legends of Southern California” is a drive-thru Halloween Haunt at the OC Fair & Event Center running 24 nights — Wednesday to Sunday evenings from October 1 through November 1.
Devised from the whispered folklore that has tortured and terrorized countless generations of SoCal residents, Urban Legends of Southern California manifests the creatures and stories that have been born from the fates of the cursed and forsaken. This immersive drive-thru terror experience will have guests scrambling to lock their car doors…until they realize that they’re trapped inside!
As guests arrive during their reserved time session, their vehicles will be staged in groups through timed ticketing. Once inside the event, they will be guided in groups through five different Experiential Zones on a clearly outlined course that weaves together the tales of SoCal’s scariest Urban Legend monsters! Unique immersive scenes, coordinated lighting and sound effects, daring live performances, and dazzling special effects work together to give guests a terrifyingly fun, entertaining Halloween experience. The drive-thru experience is about 45-minutes long.
“With the challenges of being able to safely host a traditional Halloween haunt during these unprecedented times, many of Southern California’s popular Halloween haunts, unfortunately, are canceling,” said Mark Entner, executive producer of Urban Legends of Southern California. “Our team felt as though we had to provide an innovative and safe solution for the thousands of Southern Californians who look forward to enjoying the Halloween season each Fall. Our Urban Legends monsters each have ties to Southern California, and we think this is going to be an incredibly immersive experience for our guests while keeping it safe for everyone.”
