Sacramento’s season of screams has plenty decorative feats and gothic galas for celebrating the dark side this year. Spooky-side revelers who wanted to dance to something better than the Monster Mash made their way to the Halloween Bar Crawl in Downtown Saturday night, or Shannon McCabe’s grand Vampire Ball at Harlow’s in Midtown. Those wanting even more jump scares headed over to Corbett’s House of Horror in the fields between West Sacramento and Davis. There, an array of terrifying turns and traps await those entering before All Hallow’s Eve: Its maze of madness even included attendees riding in trucks with paintball artillery mounted to them as they fired at zombies in the cornstalks. Meanwhile, some Sacramantans got into the spirt of macabre holiday by taking house decorations to the next level.
