Séances, cemeteries, haunted mansions — whatever it is you love about Halloween, you can find plenty of it this month across Southern California. LA Times features columnist Todd Martens went in search of some Halloween horrors and joined "LA Times Today" to share the most unique and immersive experiences. 

At the end of the month, the Huntington Library is hosting a spooky, science-themed weekend of events. 

"They bring in experts to talk about some topics that might be borderline spooky, like the history of pet cemeteries. But they're also having JPL come from NASA to talk about the creation of the universe. And they're going to show new images from the telescope. There's also a ballet performance that Los Angeles Ballet is creating for this event... There is one talk that is going to focus on the future of rainforests. So I'm sure that'll touch on some frightening subjects, Martens said.

For thrill-lovers who crave an immersive experience, Martens recommended Sleepwalkr2.0 in Echo Park. 

"It's a high science fiction concept. The pitch is it's in the future, and in the future, the greatest form of entertainment is we've discovered an ability to listen and watch people's dreams. So you're basically in this darkened room. It's a very audio, sensory sort of experience. And you're experiencing three different nightmares of three different people," he said. 

Creep has joined forces with CBS's "Ghosts" to create a haunted house experience in the West Adams area. Martens called it "one of one of my favorite shows I've seen this year."

“This is the first time [Creep has] partnered with CBS and they've partnered with the show 'Ghosts.' If you know 'Ghosts,' it is a lighthearted, comedic show. They kind of run with that and go into a much more spooky direction. You start on the 'Ghosts' sets and then you go through this hourlong walk through haunted house where you encounter many different spirits," he elaborated. 

For families, Martens recommended the Bob Baker Marionette Theater's "Hallowe’en Spooktacular," and a visit to see the dinosaur skeletons at Boney Island at the Natural History Museum.

If all those haunts make you hungry, Martens found a pizza shop in Long Beach that stays in the Halloween Spirit 365 days a year.

"It's not necessarily scary or spooky, but it is themed to monsters. And it is themed to skeletons. I do want to warn you, there is a lot of heavy metal. But it is monster movies and heavy metal and pizza. And it's called The 4th Horseman, and it's Halloween all year long," Martens said.
