Halloween, the one day each year parents encourage children to dress up in costumes and break the rule of never taking candy from strangers, is less than a week away.

We’ve got a list of attractions and venues that will have you feeling the thrills and chills of All Hallows’ Eve.

You can brave your way through a total of three haunted house attractions at this ultimate park: a hospital, an industrial plant and the house of a murderer. Explore the abandoned hospital with only a flashlight as you find your way through its dark halls. An evil doctor lurks in the shadows, waiting to make you his next patient. The industrial plant is home to demonic creatures that were once workers who perished in a chemical fire. You can also come face-to-face with a murderer if you dare to enter his home. Haunted by superstitions and his belief that he has to kill in order to live, the murderer is always looking for a new victim.

Ultimate Terror Scream Park is located at 4909 Auburn Blvd. in Sacramento and will be open until Nov. 11. General admission is $25 Sunday-Friday, and $30 on Saturdays and Halloween.
