Get your thrills, chills and plain old Halloween silliness at these Bay Area events
"What makes the spooky season such a special time of year is that it gives everyone permission to find their edge. For some, that's about trying on different personas via silly and inventive costumes. For others, that's confronting their fears: Scary attractions make thrill-seekers' hearts pound, but they can rest knowing that it's all fantasy. Meanwhile, true-crime enthusiasts get to explore the real dark side of humanity through gory tales."
"And what could be a better place to celebrate Halloween than the Bay Area? We have death-dropping drag queens, ingenious marionette shows, macabre murder balladeers and folks who build elaborate haunted attractions in their yards. With only two weeks left to let your freak flag fly, we're here to help you find the event that lets you do you. 'Nightfall' at Filoli, Woodside Enchanting and a little eerie? You be the judge at Filoli's "Nightfall," now in its second season."
Spooky season offers permission to push personal boundaries through costumes, thrill attractions, true-crime interest and temporary rule-breaking. The Bay Area provides a wide range of celebrations including death-dropping drag performances, inventive marionette shows, macabre murder ballads and elaborate neighborhood haunted displays. Filoli's Nightfall expands into an immersive evening experience with a witches' Gothic apothecary in the mansion, jack-o-lantern-lit Meadow games and firepits, and Redwoods attractions such as a hay maze, blacklight mushroom forest, moonlit trolls, tarot readings and a kids' activity zone. Nightfall runs through Nov. 10 with specified admission prices and member discounts.
