AREA15's annual Halloween takeover turns the whole warped, neon-lit maze into a costumed candy hunt. Expect to wander through the venue's already-strange corridors and hidden nooks, now dressed up with creepy characters lurking around corners, extra fog and shadow, and candy stations tucked between the usual bizarre art installations and immersive exhibits. It's part trick-or-treat, part haunted funhouse, with the building's natural weirdness turned up a notch for the season.
Since AREA15 is built for exploring rather than sitting and watching, this one works well for costumed groups who want to wander at their own pace, snap photos in front of surreal backdrops, and stumble into a few jump-scare surprises along the way. Bring the kids for the candy or bring your friends for the costumes and the chaos, either way there's plenty of strange corners to duck into.
