2020 has already been somewhat of a haunted and challenging year! But if you’re looking for some spooky fun, here is our list of 5 favorite covid safe events in Los Angeles.

Downtown Arts District
This Stranger Things-themed experience will bring the Netflix series to life with an hourlong adventure that transports visitors to Hawkins and the Starcourt Mall circa 1985. You’ll be able to enjoy it all from the safety of your own car. Hatched by the UK’s wildly creative Secret Cinema, the experience will take groups of 24 cars at a time through “a world of bitchin’ tunes, mullets and monster hunts,” including sets complete with actors in costume and special effects.
2. Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

All from within the safety of your car, you’ll venture down “All Hallows Lane” for a slew of Halloween-y elements, including a show screened on a 40-foot screen, scenic environments from previous hayrides and live character!
3. Haunt’oween LA Halloween drive-through

A new Haunt’oween L.A. event promises jack-o’-lantern tunnels, pumpkin picking, family-friendly sights and even a bit of “door-to-door” trick or treating—all socially distanced, of course.
4. Nights of the Jack
