What to Know

Stopping to ponder all of the great 'n ghoul-tastic movies and television shows that have found a haunted home at Warner Bros. Studio over the years?

Best turn on every light in the house first, even if the sun is out.

Maybe call a friend to come sit at your side. And, whatever you do, keep your favorite blankie or teddy close, because your thoughts are bound to give you the quaky knees.

For the historic Burbank fantasyland has been involved in "The Exorcist," "Annabelle," "Gremlins," and, yes, "It," making it a true factory of the macabre.

A fact that's been celebrated over the last few years at "Horror Made Here: A Festival of Frights," an event that's popped up at the studio, over a couple of creepy-fun nights, just before Halloween.

Nights that have proven to be so popular with scare fans that the Warner Bros. Studio Tour event will extend to 13 freaky evenings in 2018.

Look also for "mazes, games, food, and more" to lend the evenings a distinct eekiness. 

An eekiness that spreads into the Burbank property, like so much tendriling poison ivy, beginning on Friday, Oct. 5, 2018.

But if you just can't wait for early October, you can get a sneak peek at Midsummer Scream, the mondo Halloween convention, which lands at the Long Beach Convention Center over the final weekend of July.
