DESTINATION: Halloween
WHERE TO BE AFRAID - VERY AFRAID
|
|
|
Did you know that Halloween comes in second (Christmas is #1), as the most celebrated holiday in the US, with 94% of us participating? 120 million will dress up, 46% will carve pumpkins, and 50% of us decorate our yards. Shhh, don't tell the kids, but 90% of parents admit to stealing their kids candy. Most kids would find that frightening, don't you agree?!
With numbers like these, it's not surprising that the U.S. has some of the Spookiest Halloween Festivals in all the world too. If this news is right up your spooky alley, you should check out this list complied by The Haunted Attraction Association of the 8 Spookiest Halloween Festivals all around the world. Included on this list, The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor, said to be one of the most haunted places on earth!

If you're looking for a creepy destination without the Halloween theme, you could always take a bite out of Transylvania. Located in central Romania, it has been described as the "last truly medieval landscape in Europe" and it's also home to the real
Count Dracula. To learn more about what you'll find when you visit, check out this
Lonely Planet's 2015 article.
If you're more interested in the spooky side of Transylvania, go on a
7 day tour dedicated the Vlad the Impaler, the Prince who inspired Bram Stoker's story about Count Dracula.
Not scary enough for you? This year, Airbnb is holding a contest where you could win a trip to Bran Castle, Vlad's home, to stay overnight on October 31st. You and a guest will be wined and dined and lay down for the night in velvet-trimmed coffins...enter if you
