Forget parties, now it's time for real Halloween.

Got plans for the real Halloween this year? If not, why not consider going to a to one of these events, where they're sure to put on a good show. According to Reuters, here are some creepy amusements going on this year:
  • Six Flags: Visitors to Six Flags have option of participating in the Secret Coffin of Fear, in which you lie in a coffin with meal worms for one minute -- ick!
  • Universal Studios, Californian: Visitors to the House of Horrors will be haunted by some scary villains from the movies, including Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees.
  • New York's Halloween Parade: More than 2 million people are expected to attend this parade, happening October 31st at 7pm.
  • Camp Blood, Carrollton, Georgia: Crazies with chainsaws and swamp-dwellers will greet visitors after a walk through the scary forest. Sounds really frightening!
  • Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia: Looking like a medieval castle, this abandoned prison is a natural place for a haunted house.
