If you're looking for new zombie graveyards, body parts, floating ghosts and devil's playgrounds to explore for Halloween, you've come to the right place. Patch is assembling the first annual Tour o' Yard Haunts for 2018 created by some of Orange County's most imaginative and demented exterior decorators.

Haunted Photo Booth In Mission Viejo:

Here's a haunted photo op for your adorable boys and ghouls. Mission Viejo mom Jae Forsythe has created a haunted photo booth for your kids to pose with some skeletally good company.

"Anyone is welcome to come photo their littles in their costume," she told us.

Find them from now until Halloween night at 24676 Tarzona St., Mission Viejo.

Argh! Take a look at what this Aliso Viejo family has come up with! trick or treat or walk the plank!

Find them at 62 Plateau Aliso Viejo

We will be updating this tour guide for 2018 with displays that are bound to elicit a few 911 calls or set off some pacemakers when a pneumatic-controlled Freddy Krueger lunges at you from the bushes. A few simple rules to keep in mind first:
