As children most of us look forward to Halloween as a time for costumes, candy, and staying up way past our bed time to enjoy said candy. But then we grow up and slowly begin to appreciate Halloween for a few different reasons. Dressing up in mildly inappropriate costumes and celebrating with friends (that one time of year when it is socially acceptable to stumble around looking like freaks) is just as special as those innocent October nights when we were young. These are things that we as adults have grown to admit and even thoroughly enjoy, so why not do Halloween some justice and go HARD this year?
HARD Haunted Mansion at Los Angeles’ Shrine Expo Hall might be exactly what you need to let your inner freak out to some totally bitchin’ electronic music with a few thousand fellow enthusiasts. Sound like an ultimate Halloween shindig? I should think so, especially since this year will bring to the party some pumpkin smashing headliners but there’s no need fear…..or is there?!
2011′s installment of HARD Haunted Mansion will provide Los Angeles with enough hard and spooky beats to span two days. This is the fourth year for HARD Haunted Mansion and with each passing year Los Angeles gets to enjoy a bigger Halloween spectacular and more incredible talent.

LA’s Shrine Expo Hall is a whopping 54,000 square feet with a 21,160 square foot dance floor so you can happily bounce around to all the limb rattling, electrifying tracks that each and every Hard Haunted Mansion DJ can throw at you (good luck with that by the way).
