Autumn is when the air becomes crisp, the leaves change colors, and our thoughts turn spooky. With Halloween right around the corner, we’re starting to think of ways to scare ourselves and each other with costumes, masks, and fun pranks. In the beautiful Mill Valley community, there are several spine-tingling excursions to try with friends and family. Explore haunted houses and attend local community gatherings to celebrate our favorite spooky holiday.

 

The Dark Terror Vault makes an appearance in the Old San Francisco Mint in the fall. This haunted house team has a unique approach and puts on a special show every year so that no two Halloweens are the same. You will find a delightful variety of scary and fun experiences throughout the many rooms. Catch a show, grab a drink, or venture into the vault to have your socks scared off with excellent costume, set, and experience design by the Dark Terror Vault staff.

This haunted house is located across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, just a comfortable drive for Mill Valley residents.

Looking for a few frights and snacks closer to home? The Mill Valley Community Center holds a month-long celebration for all things spooky and fun on Spooky Street. This mostly outdoors event features trick-or-treating, games, and haunted house sets along with timely events rolling up to the big day. Join the community for Fright Night, and swing by for live music and crafts on Big Spooky. Later in the season, on November 1, you can bring the family to a Dia de Muertos altar-making event.

The community center is the perfect spot to trick-or-treat in Mill Valley. If you're in the market for Mill Valley real estate, keep an eye out for haunted Mill Valley open house events. It's a fun way to showcase homes in the fall season.
