Although the yearly calendar is full of holidays, there are many people in this world who would agree that Halloween is the greatest one of them all. This spooky holiday offers people across the world the chance to become scream kings and queens for the day, and it’s an incredible celebration of all things scary and gruesome. Yet, have you ever fancies heading to a new location to celebrate Halloween abroad?

Transylvania, Romania

Halloween would not be complete without vampires, and if you’re going to celebrate these fanged beings in style, then you just have to head to Transylvania. As the home of everything spooky, this remote historical region is full of scary forests, ancient castles, and remnants of Count Dracula. If there’s anything that’s going to inspire your Halloween costume, this is going to be it.

Centralia, Pennsylvania

Let’s be honest; every scary movie comes complete with smoke and mist coming from the ground. While much of this is created on-set for the sake of the movie, this is the reality of life in Centralia. This old mining town is located on top of a mine fire that still releases methane gas every single day. This gas escapes from holes in the ground, and it’s even creepier than it sounds when the moon comes out to play…

Paris, France

While there’s no doubt about the fact that Paris is a hugely popular destination, there are certain areas that are also pretty creepy. One of the main reasons for that is because it’s the home of the Catacombs. This underground chamber resides below the city and is home to around 6 million bodies. The walls are adorned with skulls, bodies, and bones, and it’ll send shivers down your spine.

Are you ready to visit these Halloween destinations for your spooky holiday celebrations?
