I've lived in LA my whole life but have never engaged with many of the bigger Halloween events, mainly because I'm not much for parties and scare easily. However, I'd really love to get out and experience some of the experiences my city has to offer now that I'm an adult (and over 21).

I love Halloween and really want to go out and do things this year, but I can be a bit of a fraidy cat and can't function in club/rowdy party environments. I kind of want to go to the haunted hayride, but I've seen people saying that it isn't interesting or scary enough to warrant the ticket prices, and I don't wanna waste my money, but also I've never even been to a haunted house that wasn't put on by a local school, so I feel like my standards might be very different than most people.

Does anybody have suggestions or advice?
