Be A Part of the Haunted Peninsula

October 1st - October 31st

Haunted Residences Competition

Turn Your Home Into a Halloween Destination!

This October, the Long Beach Peninsula is coming alive with spooky fun, and we want your home to be part of the very first Haunted Peninsula! From Chinook to Surfside, we're inviting residents to decorate their homes and help transform our communities into a month-long Halloween attraction for locals and visitors alike.

Entry is completely FREE!

Every participating home will be featured on the official Haunted Peninsula map with a map marker so visitors can easily find your decorations. Many participating homes will also become stops in the Haunted Peninsula Scavenger Hunt, encouraging families and Halloween enthusiasts to explore neighborhoods across the Peninsula while searching for hidden items and earning prizes from Marsh's Free Museum.

Show Off Your Halloween Spirit

Whether you create a spooky cemetery, a haunted mansion, a pumpkin wonderland, or something completely original, your home will have the chance to compete for the title of Best Decorated Residence. The winning home will receive prizes and be recognized on the official Haunted Peninsula website as one of the Peninsula's top Halloween displays.

​Important Dates

  • September 25: Registration deadline. Homes must be entered by this date to participate.

  • October 9: Decorations must be fully installed and ready for visitors. Homes that are not decorated by October 9 will be disqualified and removed from the Haunted Peninsula website and scavenger hunt.

Help us create a Halloween tradition the entire community can be proud of. Decorate your home, welcome visitors, and become part of the first-ever Haunted Peninsula!
