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…

The walls are adorned with skulls, bodies, and bones, and it’ll send shivers down your spine.
