In sort of surprising news that isn't that surprising, the big Halloween extra-cost party at DCA has been cancelled for 2020. These parties generally start in late September and run through October 31st two or three nights per week. From the OC Register...
"It’s only July but it’s already looking like the COVID-19 pandemic is going to ruin Halloween as Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood have been forced to cancel their lucrative seasonal events that bring hordes of haunt-happy fans to the Southern California theme parks.
The Oogie Boogie Bash separate-admission event at Disney California Adventure will not return this Halloween season as Disneyland awaits theme park guidelines that have yet to be released by the state, according to Disneyland officials."

Also of note is that Universal Studios has cancelled its Halloween Horror Nights events as it also awaits "guidance" from Sacramento on when they might be able to reopen their park.
That leaves Knott's Berry Farm as the last remaining Halloween event in SoCal, as the theme park that I believe started the entire Halloween night industry with it's Knott's Scary Farm event in the 1970's. It's been said that Knott's makes the majority of its annual profits from Knott's Scary Farm, so the thought of not having that this year must be horrifying for Knott's executives, pardon the pun.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png)
