Jump Scares on GDLA+

Do you have an emergency kit in your house? Yeah, you know what, I know about desalinization. That's what I know about, I know about boiling seawater. Right, that's where you get your water. Yeah, boiling seawater on top of it. You could just talk to me. Wow. Something horrible happened. So would you like to be in our band's rocks? Your name is rocks in the name. My God. I thought you were supposed to be wearing a mask. My God. Now you know we do to bad boys. Where are your shoes? You look so good. I had to make a break for it. Jen, she looks so good. I'm not gonna scare you, don't worry, I already did that already. Your hair like this. I really actually, you know how much I love the 80s. And you have a hot date tonight, right? I do, this is my date, Alex Dare. Yes, guys. You look so much for me. Are you doing social media right now? No, I'm doing a picture with you. I'm here. We're on live television. Yeah, it's okay. I love it. This is so great. Jen Bendick. Yes. She is the general manager of L.A.'s Haunted Hayride. Get over here. Wow, amazing. This is Joanna, by the way. She is the amazing makeup artist who makes up all of the character actors. Wow. In L.A. Haunted Hayride. This guy. They're two. Scary. Yeah. We didn't give you much attention. We were so distracted. He's silent but deadly. Okay, so Jen, tell us all about Haunted Hayride, and then we are part of your new maze. Yes, your fallen angel. Your call time is 6 o'clock tonight. We'll see you in Griffin Park. You did a fantastic job. Yes, so we're right in the middle of our run. We have 15 nights remaining. We go until November 1st. We open at 7 o'clock every night. We're almost at the point where we're open daily. And it takes a village. It really does. Yeah, we have about ten makeup artists that have two hours to get about 200 actors ready. So all of this takes place on site. I've visited you guys for once and you guys turned into a zombie and then I drove home like that. It was hilarious. I'll tell you something, my favorite part of doing this is knowing that I'm gonna be scaring my husband when I get home. Yeah, and your child, right? Child, right? Should I pick my son up? Oh, wait. Absolutely. The before and after. Oh, yeah. Look at this. What a transformation. Can I just tell you? Let me tell you something. Yeah. Only you still look beautiful like that. Thank you so much. Like, you look so good. I'm not even kidding. I know. Do you want to give it a go? Maybe try out his guitar. I'm so out of breath after he scared me. I know. My heart's beating so fast. First of all, do you know that he came up in the dressing room ahead of time? You saw her? Yeah. You cheater. I was upstairs getting my soda and then I heard the voice and then I walk over and I'm like, what, the Tina Turner? You went for the weakest link. You came out on my side. How long did it take to do this transformation? Today we took about half an hour to do the transformation. Yeah, but we went above and beyond. We wanted to be camera ready. We sure did. So yeah, it usually takes anywhere from five to 15 minutes per actor to get everybody ready. Where are you though? So I'm Fallen Angel. Yeah, Jen is a character in our new- My gosh, stop. And Alistair is one of our new Town Square characters. My gosh. And yeah, Fallen Angel is our new maze this year. We have three mazes, and we have our iconic hayride that has some very exciting new things on the trail this year. And yeah, it's- Bob, I know you play the piano. Would you like to be our pianist? Yeah, we have a lot of jump scares. No. The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride is really truly a Halloween festival. Yeah. Like there is something for the entire family. Really? We have games, we have seance, which is a fun theatrical experience. It's a fun theatrical experience that gets you further into the lore and the history of Town Square and all of our characters. We have live bands performing on stage every night. We have themed food, and there's a carousel. There's games, zombie splat. You can shoot at live zombies. Yes, definitely. There's something for all ages. If this is too scary for little ones, then there's other things to do. Some of our mazes can be a little intense, but we have Elvira's Trick or Treat Mayhem with Elvira, where they're handing out candy. You can trick or treat. So it is a lot of fun. So it could be too scary for kids maybe 12 and under, but if your kids are brave, they'll have a good time. And there's plenty of parking. That's the best part of it all. Wait, and then- I go every year. How much are tickets? I'm sorry, did you just- So yeah, tickets start at $34.99. Okay, and how do you get tickets? What do you do, just go to the website? Go to the website, losangeleshauntedhayride.com. All right. All of the tickets can be purchased online. New persona, Jen. Yeah, we do all of our tickets online, but if you arrive and you don't have a ticket, you can scan the QR code and purchase one right on site, right on your phone. And we can help you with our customer service as well, if you need assistance purchasing your ticket. Yeah. Perfect. Jen, thank you. Can you keep that look?
