It is Halloween, a time I usually like to celebrate by going to see the latest installment of a horror movie franchise that studios love to beat to death. This year it will be “Paranormal Activity 3,” which I have very little hope for.

Knott’s Scary Farm has been one of Southern California’s favorite spots to enjoy the spirit of Halloween for years.

Campus and community arts events for the week of Oct. 21, 2011.

Wagon rides, farm animals, large and small pumpkins, house tours, photo opportunities and much more have invaded Heritage Park for the 21st Annual Harvest Pumpkin Patch.

Old Town La Verne’s annual trick-or-treating event included a visit from LVTV for its “Halloween Spooktacular” show.

Costumed trick-or-treaters of all ages have a chance to join the Halloween fun at a live taping of La Verne Community Television’s “Halloween Spooktacular 2010.”

Children from the La Verne community enjoyed trick or treating on the University of La Verne campus on Halloween night during Spooktacular.
