Halloween is almost here, even though it definitely doesn't feel that way. Given how 2020 is progressed, this spooky season wasn't exactly what we were expecting. It's still spooky, just in the real life sense of living through a horror movie as opposed to watching one.
All that being said, plenty of people have opted out of celebrating Halloween this year. If you aren't one of them, welcome. For those of you who still want the full Halloween experience, we rounded up the best places to go for Halloween in the United States.
Check 'em out below!
Salem, Massachusetts
Seeing Salem on this list is likely not all that shocking. But, we couldn't resist. With its magical history, this town is always a hot spot for those who don't mind a good scare during the Halloween season. They even host balls and dinner theaters during the month. Prepare to be bewitched during your visit.
Sleepy Hollow, New York
