Short list for big screams:
Quick where-to-look:
For the most unique local haunted experiences, check Sacramento Top 10’s Halloween hub. For broad roundups, see KCRA’s annual haunted-house list and the statewide California Haunted Houses directory.
Sacramento’s “Big 3” haunts (speed-run descriptions):
Sacramento Scream Park — the city’s largest haunt: one ticket, four different houses plus a midway vibe with photo ops and add-ons. Updated sets each season.
Heartstoppers Haunted House (Rancho Cordova) — four themed haunts in one location, a Ghost Town scare zone, stage shows, and online time-slot tickets to keep waits short.
Heartstoppers Haunted House
Corbett’s House of Horror (Davis) — home of the cult-fave Zombie Paintball Attack that sells out nightly; plus haunted corn trail and more across a sprawling footprint. Arrive early.
