Sunny Leone Builds a Haunted House for Her Kids, Goes Full Zombie Mode This Halloween

Sunny Leone’s love for Halloween is no secret, but this year, she’s taking her spooky spirit up a notch. The actor has gone all out to create a haunted house for her children inside her building — complete with ghosts, pulleys, and creepy props.

“This year’s Halloween is definitely going to be the scariest because my children are a little older now,” Sunny laughs. “They’ve been begging me all year for a haunted house, so I’m building one for them. Hopefully, they don’t get too scared! We’re going full-on with scary movies, zombies, monsters — basically, everything dead or undead this year.”

Childhood Memories & Trick-or-Treat Nostalgia

Reminiscing about her childhood Halloweens, Sunny recalls her favorite part — trick-or-treating for hours. “Instead of cute Halloween bags, we used pillowcases so we could fit more candy,” she says with a grin. “The best part was coming home, dumping all the candy out, and figuring out which ones were the best, which were tradable, and how to use them as leverage against your siblings. It was always so much fun.”

Now celebrating the festival in India, she tries to recreate those memories for her kids. “Last year, I organized trick-or-treat in our building. This year, it’s harder because Halloween falls on a Friday and most schools have events, but we’ll do it again next year,” she shares.

The Leone Family’s Spooky Makeover

Every Halloween, the Leone family goes all out with their costumes — and this year is no exception. “We’re going total zombie mode,” Sunny reveals. “The boys, Noah and Asher, are creepy dead twins; my daughter Misha is a zombie princess in a destroyed gown covered with paint, dirt, and fake blood; and I’m a zombie mommy in white.”

A self-confessed makeup enthusiast, she adds, “I’ve always loved prosthetics and special effects makeup. This year, I’ve been practicing different prosthetic looks on the kids — it’s been so much fun!”

Inside Sunny’s Haunted House

Sunny has transformed a small floor in her building into a mini haunted maze. “The only way to make it truly scary is in an enclosed space,” she says. “I’ve set up pulley systems and props — spiders that drop, ghosts that move, arms that shift. I even got volunteers to sit inside and scare the kids. I didn’t want to hire a party company — I wanted to create the experience myself.”

What Halloween Means to Sunny

“For me, Halloween is about dressing up, being something you’re not, and embracing the messy, dirty, scary side,” she says. “My whole family loves it. The kids help me decorate every year — we even made a fake dead body once with one of the building kids!”

That prank led to one of her funniest Halloween memories. “We once scared a food delivery guy with the fake body,” she laughs. “He was terrified until I told him it was fake! I still have the CCTV footage — it’s priceless.”

Her Favorite Horror Flicks

When it comes to scary movies, Sunny’s list is a mix of classics and cult favorites. “The Exorcist (1973), The People Under the Stairs (1991), and the Candyman franchise — those terrified me as a kid,” she admits. “After watching Candyman, I could never enter a bathroom with the lights off. That movie messed me up for years!”

Asked which horror character she’d like to dress up as, she doesn’t hesitate. “Ed Gein,” she says. “He inspired The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and so many other classics. It’s fascinating how one person’s story could shape decades of horror cinema. I’ll probably wait till my kids are a little older before I go that dark.”
