Warhammer Manhattan Beach Monster Mash: Gamers take note: Warhammer Manhattan Beach (210 N. Aviation) will host a Battle
Royale to see who is the strongest (and spookiest) monster of them
all. Stop by to see
exclusive miniatures and other fun activities in store, including a paint exhibition.
Nightmare Before Christmas on Palm Ave: If you're out in the tree section, don't miss Manhattan Beach's favorite Halloween light and music show. The show runs nightly through Halloween at 6:30,
7:00, and 7:30 p.m (plus an 8:00 p.m. show on Friday and Saturday).
Walk Street Trick or Treating: Last but not least, the family-friendly South End walk streets are arguably the hottest spot for Halloween trick or treating. After a year on
hiatus, look for a return to spooky scenes, over-the-top decorations, lots of candy, and (most likely) crowds of trick-or-treaters.
