HALLOWEEN: Where are you going to go?

Halloween is a favorite holiday shared across the board with kids and adults alike. But as we get older, dressing up and going trick-or-treating may start to get old, and maybe a little creepy. So instead we find parties and Halloween attractions to go to!

And guess what, I found where you want to go.

So haunted houses are pretty cool, even the really small one inside Madame Tussad's wax museum. There are people popping out of walls and really creepy looking props all over. If you are a fan of getting scared, get over to Terror Behind Walls in Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

You read that correctly, penitentiary. This humongous jail was in use until 1970 when it was closed down. The original building was called the Walnut Street Jail which was built in 1776. It eventually grew into the jail it is today. You can go on tours to see the jail, or you can come between September 19th until November 2nd to experience the haunted house.

It is so creepy looking. If you've ever played a game like Manhunt 2 or even any resident evil game, you know how much the environment affects your nerves. Here, check out this video from last year.

This year the attraction has been listed as the number 1 haunted house nationally. That means it was up against every major haunted house in the country. Big honor if you ask me. Check out their site at easternstate.org

I hope you enjoy your Halloween whatever it is you may be doing, but just remember to be safe and have fun!

Happy holidays!
