Frightening and fun haunted houses of Concord and Clayton

CONCORD, CA—Happy Halloween 2020. This year has had enough scares to fill up several horror films. Some of us may want to hide under their covers from fright. But others around Concord and Clayton have opted to go all out with their spooky Halloween decorations on full display.

The Pioneer staff has spent the past few days hunting haunted houses. And the Halloween goblins have been busy. We found spirits, spiders and a surprising number of skeletons lurking around the neighborhoods.

If your home is featured in our ghostly gallery, thank you for helping to make this season a little more fun. We hope everyone has a safe Halloween.
