There is no greater treat than visiting the famous Spadena House (more popularly k
nown as the “Beverly Hills Witch House”)on all Hallow’s Eve! The entire street seems to feed off the energy of the house, as everyone decorates and celebrates by giving out loads of candy. This is quite a popular spot on the big night, so be sure to get there early to beat the crowds.

If you are worried about the dangers of traffic on Halloween (who isn’t?) than this is the perfect place for you! The four block area is magically spooky with pumpkins and twinkle lights strung along the canals, fantastic decorations, and plenty of the requisite sugar treats. Parking can be a hassle, but as long as you plan ahead it is worth a little parking search.

4. Santa Monica (25th Street)

Perhaps the most decorative of the bunch, the scene on 25th Street between Montana Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard will blow you away. This block has really taken to adorning their houses and yards with giant spiders, makeshift graveyards, and inflatable pumpkins!
