Landmark Hermosa: Mourning-Side Manor

It has become tradition.

Every Halloween night, trick-or-treaters and daredevils can visit the Mourning-Side Manor on the corner of 25th Street and Morningside Drive in Hermosa Beach for some fun and fright.

The community-driven haunted house first launched when local Alexander Merl and his high school friends were too old to trick-or-treat, but still wanted to celebrate Halloween, Merl, now 27, told the Daily Breeze in an article published Thursday.

Ever since, the haunted house has become a Halloween custom for the Hermosa Beach community, and it grew larger and scarier over the years as more neighbors chipped in to build the frightful treat. 

This year the haunted house will not only be open Monday on Halloween (from 6 to 9 p.m.), but also Sunday (from 7 to 9 p.m.) Admission is free, but donations are welcome.

No one was able to correctly guess today's Landmark Hermosa. But we'll have a new landmark trivia next Friday.
