The HorrorBuzz Passport to Fear events are back for 2022! We have some terrifying announcements for you with a total of six events around California throughout the month of October at some of this year’s most anticipated haunts. You might be asking, what is a PASSPORT TO FEAR event and why do I need to buy a ticket? It is the ultimate VIP experience for horror, haunt, and Halloween fans. We have created a collection of ethereal events meant to get you closer to the scares and behind-the-scenes like nothing else.

There are some surprises, and some additions yet to be made, but here is what we have for you this year.

THE SUMMONING – October 7, San Francisco

The Summoning

Face your fears at the historic San Francisco Mint as Into The Dark and Terror Vault presents the new immersive haunted attraction THE SUMMONING in an exclusive Passport to Fear event with HorrorBuzz and Haunted Attraction Network.

CASTLE DARK – Oct 8, Riverside CA

 

 

As night falls on the kingdom, horrors descend on the all-new CASTLE DARK in Riverside, CA. HorrorBuzz and Haunted Attraction Network invite you to join them for an exclusive Passport to Fear Event that will take you into the hunted fun and give you a look behind the scenes for a VIP night of fun and frights.

The Evil Morgana has opened her spell book, summoning haunts, ghouls, and monsters from every nook. She’s captured Merlin and locked him away, leaving you alone to navigate sinister traps and find your own way. Frightening characters on every corner haunt three new mazes, where scare zones abound. Throughout the Inland Empire, without a doubt, Castle Dark is the scariest night around.

The night will begin at 5 pm as we check in and prepare for the night ahead. We start with a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the haunt with the creators. We will explore the scares with the lights on, up-close, and personal. As night falls we will then be able to enjoy one-time, group front-of-the-line entry to each of the mazes. Once we have survived Jinxx’s Funhouse of Terror, The House Next Door, and Morgana’s Revenge, we will be treated to a cafe meal (pizza or pasta and a drink), and unlimited rounds of Mini-Golf and rides on Ghost Blasters.

A full night of frightful fun for everyone!

The iconic LA family will open their doors once again to friends and fans, just in time for Halloween. Tragedy has struck the Willows household, and guests are invited “home” to celebrate the life of a dearly departed friend. Drinks flow and dinner is served, but the night quickly takes a bizarre turn. It seems as though sinister forces are at work inside the house – and within the family. The maid insists she saw a dark figure stalking the home – was it a prowler, a spirit, or a figment of her imagination? The family’s friendly facade begins to crumble, and, soon, guests are taken on a twisted, fully interactive thrill ride where they aren’t just witnessing a story unfold: they’re living it.

With a history of selling out in minutes, The Willows returns for the 2022 Halloween season cements its legacy as a must-see attraction for fans of the haunted house genre. This updated iteration of The Willows features new faces, new twisted scenes, more chances for intimate one-on-one time with the family, and, of course, more scares and surprises for the spookiest time of year.
