"A favorite time of the year has some Halloween fun," said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, West Bottoms district spokesperson and the Queen of the Haunts. "Stores will aglow with their goth-glam and haunt décor, and there will be treats in keeping with the spirit of the Halloween season. Ironically, in tense times – haunted attractions and Halloween are especially good for the soul. Even seasonal Halloween decorating offers a sense of mystery and excitement."

The West Bottoms during the day caters to those in the 13 blocks lined with food trucks and multi-story buildings with floors of shopping, while at night, the stores close, and the area makes way for the Festival in the Full Moon and the haunted attractions. The Festival lights up the streets around the haunted attractions with fire throwers, roaming cast members scaring unsuspecting visitors, Thriller dancers, hayrides, and food trucks. Edge of Hell and Macabre Cinema are on 12^th Street with frontage to the Historic 12^th Street Bridge, while the Beast is a block away on 13^th Street.
