October is finally here, and San Francisco is packed with haunted attractions ready to scare you all season long!

Wander through classic haunted houses and eerie woodland trails, test your nerve in escape games, or fight your way through a zombie shootout. Whatever kind of fright you're after, there's something here for every thrill-seeker. Not into scares? We've also got plenty of fall fun for all ages, including hayrides, fall festivals, pumpkin picking, corn mazes, and more.
