At Disneyland Park, The Haunted Mansion reopened its doors today with a frightfully festive transformation inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993).

And to put a spooktacular end to your visit, each night through October 31, you may enjoy an eerily extraordinary experience in the form of “Halloween Screams,” a not-so-frightful projection and special effects show in Disneyland. The show will illuminate Disneyland with projections and lights every night, enhancing the spirited illuminations with fireworks on weekend nights. You can view “Halloween Screams” from several locations throughout the Park, including Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle, and the façade of “it’s a small world.”

And over at Disney California Adventure Park, Guests can enjoy some family-friendly fun in Cars Land, as Radiator Springs is transformed into Radiator Screams. Lightning McQueen, Mater, Cruz, and Red will greet Guests in their best “car-stumes.” Plus, two favorite attractions rev up the Halloween spirit with seasonal transformations of Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

On Buena Vista Street, the 10-foot-tall Headless Horseman statue awaits while Disney characters don their vintage Halloween looks. Over in Avengers Campus, Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark brings the mayhem of creepy creatures and thrilling drops. The attraction transforms from Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! into this Halloween adventure in the late afternoons each day during the season. You can experience Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark from 3 pm until the Park closes most nights from September 2 through October 31.

And you can enjoy the Disney and Pixar Academy Award-winning film Coco (2017) coming to life at Plaza de la Familia in Paradise Gardens at Disney California Adventure. These festivities include live entertainment, specialty foods, crafts, and interactive experiences. Not to be missed is the lively street show, “A Musical Celebration of Coco,” presented several times daily. The entertaining Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia share a heartwarming tale that celebrates popular songs, including the Oscar-winning Best Original Song, “Remember Me.”

Also at Disney California Adventure, villains take over the Park on select nights for this year’s Oogie Boogie Bash! Inside the Magic prepared a Guide with all you need to know about this spooktacular event. You can click here to read it.
