A World of Jack-O-Lanterns
Making its first appearance in Boston, Rise of the Jack-O-Lanterns has been popular for years in New York and Los Angeles.

… And More Jack-O-Lanterns
The annual Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular is back at Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence. The outdoor, nighttime display features 5,000 lit, carved pumpkins arranged in impressive displays.

Drive Into Horror
You can get into the spooky spirit at the Mendon Twin Drive-In, where they're featuring horror favorites this weekend. One screen features a double feature of Ouija and Don't Breathe, while movie goers will see Halloween and Friday the 13th on the other screen. Tickets & Info: mendondrivein.com
The Home of Halloween
Halloween and Salem, Massachusetts are nearly synonymous. Go to Gallows Hill for their Witchcraft & Ghost Experience – a unique, spooky stage presentation. Stop by the Nightmare Gallery's Monster Museum. And what Halloween trip to Salem would be complete without checking in at the Salem Witch Museum. You can check out all the city has to offer on their Haunted Happenings Website.
Not For The Faint Of Heart
Looking for a Haunted House that's not for the faint of heart? Try Fall River's Factory of Terror. You start your fright fest in an abandoned factory, scene of the Bloodworth Dungeon massacre. Then you'll encounter corpses in the "darker than black" 4D Blackout. It's on to Phobia Mayhem, where your worst fears will be exploited. We stress – not for the faint of heart (literally, there is even a health warning about heart conditions.) Ticket Info & More: factoryofterror.com
Lost In The Dark
An all ages Halloween attraction, you can wander the 7-Acre Connors Farm Corn Maze at night, by flashlight. There are no haunts in this maze, so you have only your imagination and the wind to spook you. The folks at Connors say it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to wind your way back to civilization. Tickets & Info: hysteriadanvers.com
