In fiction[]
On the TV series American Horror Stories, a large Halloween celebration was held in Griffith Park in October, 2021. Per the mythology of the series, Halloween was the one of the year when the spirits of the dead could take corporeal form and leave the boundaries of the site where they died. Scarlett Winslow took her ghost lover, Ruby McDaniel to Griffith Park so they could be together. Unfortunately, the ghosts of Scarlett's victims, Maya, Nicole, Rowena and Erin were also free to manifest in the park, and used this opportunity to avenge themselves against Scarlett. Ruby succeeded in getting them to back down however. During this event, Scarlett reconnected with her estranged friend, Shanti, who had concluded on her own that Scarlett had murdered the other girls. Calling Scarlett a psychopath, she told her that she wanted nothing to do with her any longer.
