Skorzy, myself and a couple of friends went to Fright Fest down at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ a couple of years ago. We made the mistake of going the weekend before Halloween and it was mobbed. It was much more crowded than we'd ever seen it, even in the dead of summer! Plus, there was a heat wave, so it was 80+ degrees and humid, bleah :P I think we managed to get on a total of 5 or 6 rides that night, and missed out on the Halloween stuff.
On the plus side, we hit both Disneyland and Magic Mountain off-season, the weekend before Christmas last December and the crowds were amazing light. The kids weren't out from school yet, and it was cool enough to scare a lot of the Californians away ;)
And for Halloween amusement park fun, we like to hit Knoebels, a small family-owned park in PA for their fall coaster event. http://www.knoebels.com/ I've got some photos from last year at: http://www.was1.net/Photos/2002/10-05-Knoebels/
