There's more to Halloween than candy and ghost stories. All Hallows Eve is a time to reflect on the goolish, the grave-driven and the completely frightening. It's also a good time to remind your kids that witches can fly, ghosts can spook and in some towns across America, teeth turn into fangs when night falls.

Spectacularly spooky legends haunt city streets around the world and fill the dark nights with eerie reality. From New England to Mexico, Halloween is one of the most interesting times to travel.

Recall the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts or release the dead from the afterlife in Mexico. Or, grab a good book on your flight to Washington and catch up on all your vampire tales, thanks to the residents in Forks. For the truly brave, Stephen King’s ultimate horror home is available for booking.

Halloween just got a whole lot more grown-up, and it’s worth checking out these places to see what it’s all about. Check out our picks for the best Halloween destinations around the world, and prepare yourself for the truly gruesome and gory.
