Note: The Scream Zone has announced a hiatus for 2026, and no return date has been confirmed. Please check thescreamzone.com for updates on a future season.
The Scream Zone is considered among the goriest, scariest, and screaming-est fright fests to be found in the dark corners of Southern California. If you have the nerve, come and witness San Diego County’s largest haunted experience!
The Scream Zone is assembled from a collection of body parts and roughly stitched together into four terrifying haunts and other monstrous attractions. The haunt typically runs selected nights throughout October. Parking at The Scream Zone is free.
Past seasons have featured Triple Haunt favorites: the horrifying House of Horror, the dizzying KarnEvil, and the Haunted Hayride, each casting its evil spell on the Del Mar Fairgrounds. If our Triple Haunt isn’t enough for you, lace up your sneakers and take part in The Running Dead. Will you survive the zombie apocalypse or will you become a wandering corpse?
Scaredy Cats are welcome to enter The Scream Zone compound at no charge if you want to wait for your children or hang with your friends but are too scared to enter the haunts. There are lots of things for you to do and see, including great food vendors, photo opportunities and our Spirit Lounge bar.
