Eye on L.A. looks at spooky Halloween fun around SoCal
With Halloween just around the corner we have all kinds of spooky good fun for you to check out! We found a few places that will inspire your costume selection, spots for hair-raising fun, and of course, we found great places to eat hauntingly good food.
Beverly Hills Witch's House
Once a movie set for the Willis Studios in the 1920s, this peculiar privately-owned witch's house in Beverly Hills definitely turns heads. After almost a decade of renovations some might believe this house came from a story book. With many visitors on a daily basis, Halloween is its biggest night with almost 4,000 trick-or-treaters. If you love Halloween, you have to check out this house!
