Brick or Treat Party Nights are Back at LEGOLAND California Resort!

By Erin

*We were invited as media to come check out Brick-or-Treat for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions remain our own*

It’s one of our favorite times of the year at LEGOLAND California! Ghosts, Goblins and not-so-scary Monsters are back and ready to “boo-gie” down at LEGOLAND California Resort for it’s Brick-or-Treat Party Nights!  Every Saturday night in October (Oct. 5, 12, 19, and 26) at 5 p.m. the family theme park transforms into the ultimate family Halloween party with tasty goodies, monster jams and spooktacular entertainment! With treat stations located throughout the park and inside SEA LIFE Aquarium, there is sure to be something to satisfy every sweet tooth. Along with tons of candy, party goers can collect specialty items such as a LEGO Commemorative brick, LEGO Life Magazine and healthy treat options!

The popular Brick-or-Treat festivities are back with a new out of this world Pop Badge Challenge! Families can collect an exclusive Brick-or-Treat pop badge by snapping a selfie with an intergalactic dancer at Club Astro Bash! After dancing their way at Planet Boogie, they can collect one pop badge per weekend, with an exclusive, new Pop Badge design offered each Brick-or-Treat Party Night!

The ultimate family Halloween party is filled with frighteningly- fun entertainment as the Boo Crew returns with a new creepy crawly stilt walker, The Spider Queen! We had a ton of fun taking photos with all of the Boo Crew characters!

Get in the Halloween spirit by jumping in and boogieing down at the seasons most frighteningly-fun dance parties which includes Midnight Monster Jam where you can help the Monster Crew bring their spooky fun character concert to life! Wacky Professor Frankenbrick returns to Brick-or-Treat with one goal: to be the best mad scientist in the world! Kids can partake in the interactive Frankenbrick’s Lab show by using their imagination to bring his LEGO Monsters to life. Kids can celebrate the season by singing along and moving their feet to the beat with The Witchettes in the Courtyard Theatre or by joining in the interactive play, Mail Order Monsters. There is also a chance to win some scream worthy prizes by showing off your coolest costumes in the Brick-Or-Treat Costume Contest presented by Disguise Costumes! With three categories: Group, Heroes & Villains and LEGO Themed, as well as a Costume Parade for all kids to join in, there is a chance for everyone to strut their stuff during the Halloween celebration!

When we asked the kids what their favorite part of Brick-Or-Treat was, they quickly said, “EVERYTHING!” Soon followed by, “The food, especially the food.”  Being a foodie myself, I totally have to agree on that. There are some delicious seasonal treats you won’t want to miss, like this Pumpkin Crepe.

Make sure to go find the “Brickzini” too. The kids can ask him whatever question they want about anything or their future and he will come up with the best answers. It was very entertaining to watch and the kids loved it.

Knott’s Scary Farm 2019

Knott’s Scary Farm 2019

By Kirstin

Boo! It is that time of year again when all of the ghosts, ghouls and every un-dead creature roams our favorite Southern California theme park! I am of course talking about Knott’s Scary Farm 2019!  Back for it’s 47th year, the preview that we went to last week spoke of new horrors we could never have imagined in the wildest fog of our nightmares!

Scary Farm 2019 will be 26 frightful nights from September 19- November 2nd, 2019.

Every inch of Knott’s Scary Farm is filled with the un-dead, bloodcurling beasts, spine-chilling scares, and un-earthly surprises.  14 haunted attractions await those who dare to enter the parks other-worldly domain.  There will be 4 spine tingling scare zones, 9 menacing mazes, and the spooky overhaul of Timber Mountain Log ride!

This year, 2 new mazes will join the time tested favorites.

Imagine hearing strange noises and eerie lights coming from the old abandoned wax museum!  Spooky enough in the day time, the prominent plastic surgeon, Dr. Augustus Scratch, welcomes you to stay… forever. Those wax figures look awfully familiar, don’t they? Ignore the rumors of bloodcurdling screams that filled the nights before.  What was that noise?! It must be the new WAXWORKS Maze!

All fans of Knott’s Berry Farm are familiar with the history of Calico Ghost Town, aren’t they? Why do you feel strange ghostly presence as you stumble through the fog walking through Calico? Discover how Sarah Marshall is put on trial for suspected crimes of witchcraft and discover who is behind all of the curses through the town, the Green Witch! What are all those horrific creatures with the eternal thirst for the living? Oh those are just the Calico townsfolk whom she cursed! Find ORIGINS: The Curse of Calico, if you dare.

Need a break from being scared out of your minds?  Knott’s Scary Farm has teamed up with the Jim Henson Company to make a show that will have you peeing in your pants for a different reason! You might actually only die laughing though. PUPPET UP!-Uncensored will have your sides splitting as you the audience control this outrageous, off-the-cuff live show featuring a combination of improvisional comedy and the magic of puppetry performed by world class comedian puppeteers. Think, Whose Line is it Anyway but a little more raunchy and brazen. With Brian Henson(son of Jim Henson) and  Patrick Bristow(director of Ellen, Seinfeld and Whose Line is it Anyway), this show is a win-win. However, I do NOT recommend this show for younger audiences due to its adult content.

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios

By Erin

I love all things Halloween and for the first time ever, Sony Pictures’ classic film, Ghostbusters, is coming to “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort – bringing the most memorable scenes, characters and supernatural spirits from one of pop culture’s most iconic films to life in immersive mazes based off the 1984 classic at the nation’s premier Halloween events, starting this September.

Ghostbusters has entertained generations with its comedic yet frightening tale of four paranormal investigators on their quest to eradicate supernatural threats from creating chaos throughout New York City. As the film marks its milestone 35th anniversary, guests will have the unique opportunity to live the action and terrifying scares they have seen in the hit film when it comes to life at Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” in Hollywood and Orlando.

In each maze, guests will follow in the footsteps of the Ghostbusters – Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston – as they venture through artfully recreated scenes from the film, including the firehouse, New York Public Library and the Temple of Gozer, as an army of ghoulish spirits, hideous specters and ectoplasm-dripping phantasms attack from every corner.  As they delve deeper into the maze, guests will come face-to-face with an array of paranormal creatures, from the voracious Slimer to the all-powerful Gozer the Gozerian and in its ultimate destructor form – the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, to brave the demonic spirits and survive the night.

Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” is the ultimate Halloween event and one of my favorites in Southern California! For more than 25 years, guests from around the world have visited “Halloween Horror Nights” to become victims inside their own horror film.  Multiple movie-quality mazes based on iconic horror television shows, films and original stories come to life season after season. And, the streets of each park’s event are transformed into highly-themed scare zones where menacing scare-actors lunge from every darkened corner.

“Halloween Horror Nights” begins Friday, September 6 in Orlando and on Friday, September 13 in Hollywood. Additional details about the events will be revealed soon. For more information about “Halloween Horror Nights” and to purchase select tickets at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort, visit www.HalloweenHorrorNights.com.

Updates on “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Studios Hollywood are available online at Hollywood.HalloweenHorrorNights.com and on Facebook at: “Halloween Horror Nights – Hollywood,” Instagram at @HorrorNights and Twitter at @HorrorNights as Creative Director John Murdy reveals a running chronicle of exclusive information.
