As Halloween draws near, The Pirate Cave once again begins to materialize.

With its 8-foot-high cave walls and a skull face entrance, it is a menacing site for all to behold. New creatures have emerged to guard the Pirate Treasure from the brave who dare enter its chambers.

We welcome you to the fifth annual Pirate Cave.

The Pirate Cave is a front-yard haunt that is fun for the whole family. Kids of all ages roam through the caverns looking for the pirate treasure.

The cave contains multiple light, sound, smoke and visual effects. This is an atmosphere based haunt, that does not rely on gore.

"The pirate theme and home made props distinguish it from several other amateur Halloween efforts" said Steve Biodrowski of Hollywoodgothique.com

The Pirate Cave is located at 7919 Lasaine Ave., in Northridge and is open Halloween Night from dusk to 10 p.m.

The Pirate Cave is presented by Sean Jones, a free-lance artist, who presents this cave as a showcase of his set design, special effects and decoration talent.
