Since it is the season, we’ve got TEN creepy, carefully curated scares located all around the area that’ll leave our more fearless readers with a rush of adrenaline -- or the more frightful yearning for just one sleep without nightmares.

The second is “Legends of the Deep” which features an old steamship whose crew “still drifts at sea with one mission - to claim as many souls as they can for their dark lord.” The last is “All Hallows Eve” where “A cursed group of undead trick or treaters rise up from their shallow graves once a year on Halloween in search of blood, guts, and candy! As the fall spirit infects others, their numbers grow.” In addition to the scary shows, there will a bar with concessions, an axe throwing class, and mini escape rooms.
