Get ready for the ultimate scare—and a great cause! The Cordova Community Council’s Heartstoppers Haunted House returns this October to deliver thrills, chills, and plenty of screams in the name of community spirit.

For 13 fright-filled nights, brave guests journey through haunted tunnels and eerie hallways where ghosts, ghouls, and zombies await around every corner.

With more than 15,000 visitors each year, Heartstoppers is consistently rated the Best Haunted House in the Sacramento region. But behind every scream is something even more powerful—support for our community.
