If you’ve been anywhere shopping during the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed the signs of another holiday drawing near.

No, not Christmas (although, there are people getting an early start)

It’s Halloween!

For all those CSUF students who love the thrill of being frightened by zombies, ghosts, and serial killers, we know a couple of local places you can check out this season.  Of course, nothing really beats the massive attraction that is Knott’s Scary Farm.  But maybe you want more personal attention from your zombie and desire a place with less people.

Inside the Brea Plaza Center (453 South Associated Road) is a new attraction called Sinister Pointe.

Sinister Pointe premiered last year as “The Official Saw Haunted Attraction” modeled after the “Saw” movie franchise.  It featured one maze that took visitors through “Jigsaw’s Workshop” that highlighted scenes from the first four films.  It was a big hit last year and now it’s creators are bringing us something new.

Sinister Pointe is showcasing TWO mazes.  The first one is called “Fear,” an interactive maze based on the Saw movies.  And the second one is “Silent Hill Haunted Attraction.”  Thats right, based on the really scary and creepy Silent Hill video game.  Producer Jeff Schiefelbein has a great track record for creating one-of-a-kind horror attractions.

They operate Thursdays thru Sundays 7pm to 10pm, and offer more days during the week of Halloween.  Tickets are $13 for one maze and $20 for both.  They also offer group discounts, but beware:  they’re probably going to split you up into groups of four once you enter the maze.  Check out the Sinister Pointe website for more details.

Also, premiering at The Anaheim Garden Walk is The Empty Grave.

From The Empty Grave website

The Empty Grave is a new haunted house currently open on Fridays and Saturdays 6:30pm to midnight, and Sundays 6:30pm to 10pm.  The attraction is based on a legend of a possessed groundskeeper haunting a cellar, where he died.  You can read the whole story here.

Filling 50,000 square feet on the second level of Anaheim Garden Walk, The Empty Grave shouldn’t disappoint!  Tickets are $13 or two for $20.  You can also buy a “Quick Death Pass” for $20, which gets you to the front of line.  You can also get a coupon from their website.

These are just a couple of adults-only haunted attractions.  Where do you go to get your scare-fix?
