The Pirates dinner theatre show in Buena Park changes courses during the Halloween season. Captain Sebastian Black helms a ship full of Vampire pirates in a performance that is just as entertaining as the original, just much more festive considering the time of year. Complete with all the theatrics and drama, spectators get an up close and personal seat as the pirates do battle. In addition to the show, guests are treated to hand passed appetizers before the show and a proper dinner during the performance. Costumes for the guests are encouraged for these shows.
The 17th Door Haunted House
1851 W Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833
(714) 441-9080

While there are many haunt experiences happening all over the Southland, none of them require you to sign a waiver. The 17th Door is a unique sensory experience that follows the plight of Paula, a tormented soul that has committed a heinous crime and must now serve her time in Perpetuum Penitentiary. For those brave enough to enter, the 17th Door subjects visitors to extreme temperature, claustrophobic elements, foul odors, loud noises, and the kind of shock that isn't encouraged for those that aren't physically fit to withstand it. This goes well beyond costume make up and creative lighting. The 17th Door is so serious that a safe word has to be implemented to ensure the safety of the guests. If you are looking for a real thrill, this is it.
Corona Del Mar Farmer's Market
3201 Pacific Coast Hwy
Corona Del Mar, CA 92625
www.localharvest.org
The quaint coastal community of Corona Del Mar makes for the perfect place to host a Farmer's Market. Local vendors provide an excellent alternative to supermarket shopping with a fine selection of fresh produce, flowers, and even fresh fish. Local bakers are on hand with plenty of oven fresh items and items ranging from organic honey to premium olive oil are all available for purchase. Outside of some great grocery shopping, prepared food is also a perk of the farmer's market and usually way too tempting to pass up. Making for a great reason to get out for an early morning walk, the Corona Del Mar farmer's market is perfect for a casual weekend.
