review: the farm haunt

The Farm Haunt is one of our favorite haunts! This spooky Western-themed yard display (and sometimes maze) consistently showcases excellent craftsmanship with hundreds of intricate details. Visiting this haunt makes it easy to imagine what it would be like to visit a pioneer ghost town on Halloween and witness a supernatural world come to life.

Since its relocation to Castaic from Glendale, The Farm Haunt continues to be an evolving yard display centered around “Dr. Diablo’s Caskets And Curiosities” - a spooky Western shoppe filled with creepy dolls, jack-o’-lanterns, and various sinister oddities. From behind the front door, a fiendish, grinning man (picture Lon Chaney in “London After Midnight”) leers out at the yard’s plethora of caskets and skeletons. From within the building, a dim purple light illuminates the vintage wallpaper while red lights highlight the details of the exterior.

For the 2020 Halloween season, The Farm Haunt team has handcrafted a gothic funeral carriage and parked it in front of Dr. Diablo’s shoppe. The ominous coachman of this carriage is a hooded, cadaverous character who sits silently reading among glowing jack-o’-lanterns.

The Farm Haunt recreates itself every year - always evolving and always offering new surprises. This year’s presentation is one of the best yet. The props, sound, and lighting are terrific and create a tenebrous world that transports you to a ghoulish version of the Old West. The Farm Haunt is truly a celebration of Halloween and definitely worth the trip to Santa Clarita.
