With Halloween right around the corner, everyone needs something scary to do. For the thrill-seekers and not-so-faint-at-heart, here’s a compiled list of the Halloween events you can’t miss.
Blood Lake
Located at Windy Hill Sports Park, Blood Lake is 3 horrifying attractions in one. Beginning with their Crypt Escape, groups can test their problem solving skills by attempting to escape the burial house of a bloodthirsty vampire. For the fearless risk-taker, there is the Zombie Airsoft Experience where one person must face off againt an army of zombies with no escape. To truly test yourself, you can venture to the dark and foggy Haunted Forest where you just might face some creatures that don’t enjoy guests. With tickets starting at only $10, this is a cheap way to spend an October weekend.
Darkwood Manor
Luray, Virginia is home to one of the most terrifying locations in haunted house history. Built in 1880, Darkwood Manor has seen the deaths of both Abigail Darkwood in 1940 as well as Dr. Simon Ghoulsby in 1954. Although it sat empty for 48 years, the house has now been reopened for guests to explore. Even though the tours and shows currently offered in the house use actors to scare you, you just might get to see or hear a little more than you bargained for while on the property. Tickets start at only $10 and there are different events every weekend.
The Devil’s Den
Following the atrocities of Winchester’s most notorious serial killer, visitors get inside the twisted mind of Henry Lee Allen by experiencing the nightmares and psychological terror that drove him insane. Unlike other attractions, The Devil’s Den does not use fake masks or cheap scare tactics. By utilizing up close encounters and manipulating all of your senses, you will experience real-life horrors that can’t be found anywhere else. It only costs $15 to immerse yourself in this true-to-life horror story.
The Exchange Hotel
In Gordonsville, Virginia, you can experience a personal encounter with the paranormal. Ranked the 15th most haunted building in the United States and the 2nd most haunted in Virginia, there isn’t a night that hotel-goers don’t get their money’s worth. From sightings to hearing voices and sounds, this experience will test your skepticism and leave you terrified. For those brave enough to visit the hotel in it’s most spiritually active season, the cost is only $10 a person.
