LOS ANGELES - OCTOBER 1, 2016. Everyone knows of the Gothic Hills Cemetery. Spirits materialize there every Hallowe'en, and have done so for years. They're mostly harmless and often welcome the company of those who gather to gawk. Last Hallowe’en over 460 guests visited the spooky cemetery for a bit of carnival fun. But the cemetery holds a secret. Legend tells of a "lost crypt", deep in the dark, past all of the other graves, hidden from sight. They say, a old cranky business tycoon, whose riches surpassed all imagination, is buried there, his soul cursed by a witch. Many have gone looking for the crypt, in hopes that the old man kept his treasure by his side, but none have ever been heard from again. Do you dare to go looking for trouble? It may just find you, in the Lost Crypt of Julius Fitzroy.
Gothic Hills Cemetery hosts a free community Hallowe'en event each year. Admission is free, however a non-perishable food donation for AIDS Project LA's Necessities of Life Program, or animal supplies for Hands Paws Hearts Animal Rescue, are being accepted at the gate.

Families of all ages are welcome, and while the haunted house may be scary for the smallest of souls, it is generally appropriate for those 6 and older. It consists mostly of spooky decorations, special effects and sounds, and only a few scary moments.
