Spooky Halloween
Events
How can it be that Halloween is almost here? Seems like just
yesterday we were celebrating Independence Day and now we’re about to roll into
the month of October and that means Halloween! Halloween has always been one of
my favorite holidays! As a kid, dressing up and getting candy, what is there
not to like?! As an adult though, although I still love the candy I enjoy
Halloween for the thrill/scare factor that it can bring!
I had the pleasure
years ago to experience Haunted Halloween Nights at Universal Studios down in
Florida with some friends and the sheer frightening moments walking through
that park bring back fun memories. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and be
scared. Dare I say I feel refreshed after a few good blood curdling screams?!
Here are a few attractions within the triangle area and
beyond that are worth noting if you want to get your scare on this Halloween
season! This includes haunted house, haunted corn mazes, haunted tours and
places to catch scary movies!
