The Halloween season is upon us and besides it being a time for Jack O’ Lanterns and spiderwebs, it’s a time to get the candy scared out of us. When you’ve exhausted your stack of scary movies, it might be time to wander through a haunted house or two for a scream-filled, skin-crawling kind of fun. The Sacramento Press put together a list of several haunted houses in the area that are sure to make one’s hair stand straight.

The homeowner in El Dorado Hills transforms there three car garage into a walk-through maze that will leave you speechless. They are open rain or shine. They have the best scare actors in the area, as far as I'm concerned, and great room displays with animatronics. I forgot to mention, they are also partners with the Food Bank of El Dorado County for the first time. Bring two canned food items to get two dollars of a regular priced admission fee.
