With October here, the days have become shorter, the air is crisper, and we’ve officially switched to autumn mode.
And with fall here, one thing takes over everyone’s minds: Halloween.
To count down to the big night of frights, Hellotickets has rounded up the spookiest neighborhoods across the U.S. (and beyond), where haunted legends, creepy history, and ghostly vibes will give you chills before you’ve even carved your pumpkin.
Salem – Massachusetts
No list of spooky destinations is complete without Salem. Home of the infamous 1692 witch trials, Salem transforms every October into a Halloween wonderland: parades, haunted houses, witch museums, re-enactments, and candlelit tours. It’s the ultimate pilgrimage for anyone obsessed with Halloween.
French Quarter & Bourbon Street – New Orleans, Louisiana
The beating heart of New Orleans mixes voodoo, jazz, and restless spirits. Bourbon Street is buzzing with ghost stories, haunted mansions, and the city’s famous above-ground cemeteries. Add in a voodoo shop or two and you’ve got one of the most atmospheric Halloween spots in America.
Beacon Hill – Boston, Massachusetts
Gas lamps flickering, narrow cobblestone streets, and centuries of revolutionary history – Beacon Hill is one of Boston’s most picturesque neighborhoods by day and downright eerie by night. With legends of haunted taverns and ghostly soldiers, it’s a must for those who want a dose of spooky history closer to home.
Savannah – Georgia
Often called America’s most haunted city, Savannah oozes Southern Gothic charm. Spanish moss drapes over oak trees, historic mansions line the squares, and ghost tours run nightly. From haunted inns to tales of pirates and restless spirits, Savannah is a Halloween dream destination.
Sleepy Hollow – New York State
Yes, it’s real! Just north of Manhattan, Sleepy Hollow is where Washington Irving set the legend of the Headless Horseman. In October, the whole village goes all-in: lantern-lit cemeteries, hayrides, haunted houses, and spooky storytelling straight out of American folklore.
And Beyond: Halloween Goes Global
If you’re ready to venture further, head to:
- Edinburgh (Scotland) with its haunted underground vaults.
- Paris (France) for a chilling tour of the Catacombs.
- Mexico City (Mexico) for DÃa de los Muertos, where colorful parades and candlelit cemeteries honor the dead in a festival unlike any other.
From witch tours in Salem, to ghost walks in Savannah, voodoo nights in New Orleans, and Headless Horseman festivals in Sleepy Hollow, Hellotickets has curated the best spooky tours and Halloween experiences across the U.S. and beyond.
Because Halloween isn’t just one night – it’s a whole vibe.
So, who’s ready to swap pumpkin spice for a candlelit ghost walk through America’s most haunted streets?
