5 Scary Events That Will Make You Scream
October means Halloween. And Halloween means haunted houses. My friends love to drag me to these events, because frankly I’m scared of them. Zombies with one hand cut off that jump out at me is not my idea of fun. But the thrill of the ride is sometimes worth it, and in this case it is. Check out these scary events happening in October:

I would recommend bringing your kids, 12 years and above, to the All Hollows Eve: Village of Fear and Santa’s Village Nightmare on North Street. Evil Intentions Haunted House does not recommend you bring children 13 and below to this event. Nightmare on Chicago Street states that 17 and younger will not be admitted without a parent/guardian. Terror on the Railroad is not recommended for children under the age of 13.
Bottom line, use discretion but pick the event that seems the most fun for you and your family/friends. Better yet, go to all 5 if Halloween is your favorite holiday! Remember that this time of year involves fun events around Halloween that include dressing up like your favorite character or being scared with the people that you enjoy most. Enjoy it while it lasts!

I like exploring new cities, eating a good bowl of pasta, and having anything sweet for dessert – dessert is a must for me! Fall is my favorite season; the leaves changing color fascinate me. I love having deep, soulful conversations. Follow my posts on this blog to find out more about what I love to do in this area.
