Halloween on Oahu
Costumes, cocktails, and a little island magic—Halloween on Oʻahu is anything but ordinary. Discover festive fun, island adventures, and warm October nights.
Aloun Farms is one of Oʻahu’s best-known fall traditions—a local family farm that has hosted its annual pumpkin patch for more than two decades. The farm itself has deep roots in Hawaiʻi agriculture and has been family-run for more than 45 years. Enjoy a distinctly Hawaiian take on fall and harvest season.
The Old Pali Highway is one of Oʻahu’s most atmospheric places for ghost stories and local legends. It’s an abandoned stretch of the original route over the Koʻolau Mountains, with portions now used as a hiking path. Its isolation, dense greenery, winding road and history have made it a particularly famous setting for supernatural tales.
The area is associated with stories of Night Marchers, unexplained apparitions, strange sounds and other supernatural encounters.
10th Avenue and the surrounding Kaimukī/Pālolo neighborhoods are popular Halloween destinations, with decorated homes and neighborhood-scale Halloween activities.
The Haunted Kasha House of Kaimukī is one of Oʻahu’s most famous—and mysterious—urban legends. It’s less a traditional haunted-house attraction and more a decades-old story about a supposedly haunted home and a frightening Japanese spirit known as a kasha.
The Waialae Drive-In Theater was an outdoor movie theater on Waialae Avenue that closed in the 1980s. According to HONOLULU Magazine, it became associated with a particularly creepy local legend because it was located next to an old cemetery.
The best-known story involves a faceless woman who was said to haunt the theater’s women’s restroom. According to the legend, visitors reported hearing pounding on the stall doors or seeing the woman appear in the bathroom mirror.
