Luckily, Halloween fans are in luck as the Haunted Hayride is returning this year, with pre-order tickets having officially gone on sale today. As with most years, the event won't only have the hayride itself, but it will also offer unique and creepy mazes to take the experience even further, allowing attendees to fully get into the spooky spirit. You can head to the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride website today to secure your tickets, which comes with a $10 discount through September 8th. The event kicks off on September 24th and runs select nights through October 31st.

The witch of the woods has cast her spell to summon the spirits of the underworld to cross over and assimilate into form using various objects found among town including decorations used for celebrating Halloween. Dazed within the spell cast upon them, the Witch commands her army of crops and flesh to seek revenge on the people that have casted her out.
