ABOUT US
21 YEARS OF TERROR: For decades, "Mystic Terror" has been providing thrills and chills to the residents of SoCal. Operating as an unnamed attraction from 2002-2018, the evolution of the haunt has been vast. What began as black plastic walls, EZ-Ups, and strobe-lit hallways -- has now expanded into a unique and meticulously-designed themed-attraction. Sheeting has become set flats. Tents transformed into structures. CDs became sound systems. And the scare now has a story. "Mystic Terror" strives to stand amongst the Goliaths of Halloween Haunts...bringing the quality of Hollywood backlots to your backyard.

MIND BEHIND THE MADNESS: "Mystic Terror" roots from the vision of Ryan Rusin, an ambitious 26-year old screenwriting graduate out of Chapman University. He inherited the haunt from his sister in 2015, after she hosted it for 13 years prior. Ever since, Ryan has aimed to up the bar, with commitment and craftsmanship that strives to match movie-quality. As much as the haunt is hosted by one, however, it takes an entire team to create & recognize the vision. There is an armada of talented individuals: from technical direction, makeup artists, illustrators, engineers, actors, an undying support network of family, friends, neighbors, and so much more. It is impossible to express the level of gratitude and care I have for all of them. The Mystic Terror team is a family, and is always welcoming more.
