They've outdone themselves once again by strategizing and designing with a top notch team of exemplary experts and proficient programmers. Combining state of the art and high quality effects, the dynamic duo, along with a cast of 100 plus, conceived and created outstanding, out of this world, over the moon concepts and elements that exceed all expectations.

Bobby admits this is a labor of love and that he puts extra special care into making sure fans are satisfied. He appreciates being able "to put smiles on their faces." For Bobby, it's "important to make people happy, especially during these trying times."

Highlights of the happening for Bobby include the impactful Dinosaur and Day of the Dead installations, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Cube field, and the RGB tunnels with flying ghosts and witches. There is also a Spookeasy bar with craft beer, wine, spiked spirits, hot coffee and cider, and a bevy of spook-tacular Halloween snacks — sweet, savory, sour, spicy, and spectral; a pumpkin carver; an array of delectable delicious edibles from prime LA food trucks; a souvenir shop with marvelous mementos; and nearly a mile of gorgeous glowing Halloween lights & festive Jack O'Lanterns on the Nights of the Jack Walking Trail.
