FIVE UNUSUAL HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES
By Vanessa Morgan
Do you want to do something different for Halloween? Here are five
unusual places you can visit.
A horror-themed museum
Torture museums are the obvious picks for Halloween. But what about a
Museum of Vampires and Legendary Creatures, or a Museum of Fantastic
Art?
A horror-themed escape game
Escape games are all the rage these days, and they come in a variety of
different themes. For Halloween, pick one with a haunted house or horror
topic. Will you make it out... alive?
An abandoned (haunted) house or building
They don't even have to be haunted; abandoned locations are creepy
enough in and of itself, especially if you visit them at nighttime. A
word of caution, though: Some of these places can be dangerous (holes in
floors, falling bricks), so don't go exploring on your own.
A horror-themed restaurant or bar
The Vampire Cafe in Shinjuku, Japan, for example, has cross-shaped
food, dark corners, blood-red decorations, and waiters dressed up as
vampires and speaking with a Transylvanian accent. If you want to keep
it more simple and close to home, you could opt for Lost Boys Pizza in
London, England, named after the 1980s horror movie – complete with
horror movie background music, black pizzas (Kale All Vampires, Fangs
for the Memories), and horror-themed events (movie screenings, vampire
yoga).
A horror film festival
Many cinemas host horror movie nights for Halloween, but it's even more
fun to visit a horror film festival (such as Razor Reel) and enjoy
horror films all week(end) long.
