Stay Spooktacularly Safe South County!!!!


One of the most exciting holidays is right around the corner. Children have been trick or treating since the 1930’s, when the term first came into use. Of course, you want to be assured that your child is traversing your neighborhood safely, and there are many ways to keep your children from being sick or injured It’s always a good idea for parents to look through their child’s candy, and throw away any candy that is opened or looks tampered with. Also, young children should be accompanied by an adult or a responsible teenager. Here are some safety tips for both parents and children:

Safety for kids:

  • To wear a watch they can read in the dark
  • Not to pet or go near any animals that they don’t know
  • Try to avoid costumes that include paper on them; some walkways might be lined with candles
  • Don’t run to the houses! It is much easier to trip and fall while running in a dimly lit area
  • To try using make-up instead of a mask, as it can obstruct vision
  • Always use the sidewalks; if there is no sidewalk, walk on the side of the road facing traffic
  • To stay on well-lit streets, and never enter a house or approach a vehicle
  • To choose a costume that is not too long; children may trip over long robes or dresses

Safety for Parents:

  • If your child has a meal before going trick or treating, they are less likely to eat their candy
  • Discuss and agree on a return time with your child
  • Make sure all flashlights have fresh batteries
  • When shopping for costumes, check to see if they are made of flame retardant materials
  • Make sure that if your child is going to carry a prop or accessory (such as a knife or sword), it is made of a flexible or soft material
  • Plan a trick or treating route with your child so you know where they are going

Get Your Halloween Scare at the Eastlake Design District!



hula Vista has its very own major haunted house this Halloween, The Dark, which runs through Oct. 31.

The Dark was an idea created by Diana Ocampo, 37, back in July and since then staff got the house completed in a short timeframe."This haunted house is different from any other because it's a mental thriller, everyone is afraid of the dark because you don't know what is around you," said Ocampo, a partner in the production of The Dark.

The house will be made up of more than eight rooms that include hillbillies, clowns, exorcists and the like.


"The Dark is a unifying theme that connects the rooms by a maze. We try and put things you see in different haunted houses with our own unique spin on it," said Jeff Rankin,43, creative designer of The Dark.

Although the location of The Dark encompasses more than 16,000 square feet, the main concern when creating the haunted house was space.

"We went through a couple of ideas as to where we could have it. Our partner Diana is involved with the paintball field in the Otay Shopping Center, but there is a business running there already, so we kept looking for a location we could use," Rankin said. "We picked the Eastlake Center and they worked with us to set up a space there. Then we worked with lighting and sound, all of the different elements that had to be explored. We connected themes that we wanted and set up a layout to create anticipation. We want the people to not know what's coming, we didn't want to give anything away from room to room."

More than 23 people were hired and designated to scare individuals.

"We worked with Southwestern College, some of the actors who are studying there are working with us, it's an opportunity to show their skills," said Rankin.

The Dark is now open and will run every day through Oct. 31 from 7 p.m. to midnight at 851 Showroom Place, Suite 100, in the Eastlake Design District next to Eastlake Tavern and Bowl and Brew House in Eastlake.
