The spooky season is underway, and there are plenty of ways to celebrate, costumed or not.

“People love haunts,” says Ron Daniels, president of Daniels Wood Land.

With that concept in mind, Daniels Wood Land, which built the Cannery Row attraction Treasure Hunt: The Ride, teamed up with Escape Room 831 to introduce Haunted Harbor, a new event that is planned to become a Halloween tradition.

Four attractions inside 700 Cannery Row have gotten a Halloween makeover. Treasure Hunt: The Ride, which opened more than a year ago, transforms into Treasure Haunt, featuring scare actors in the queue and inside the ride itself, making you jump around nearly every corner as you shoot targets and go for the high score. The two shooting galleries inside the building are also decked out with Halloween flair.

Escape Room 831’s Pier of Fear attraction is now a walk-through maze for Haunted Harbor. Its environments fill you with dread as you navigate through, avoiding the costumed monsters and jump-scare moments. It’s not for the faint-hearted, and certainly not for children – this activity is not recommended for those ages 12 and under.

This year is seen as a test run for Haunted Harbor, with the hopes of building on the synergy in the area and getting more nearby businesses involved in the coming years, Daniels says.

Haunted Harbor, which opened Oct. 18-19, runs for one more weekend, Oct. 25-26 from 6-10pm. Tickets are $40 and available at treasurehuntride.com/haunted-harbor.
