No it's fine you can bicker a little bit but not constant

Did I say that parts of Texas don't have a fall-like feel to them?

LA should be on this list because of the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival. I believe it draws close to half a million people each year!

At least what happened in Salem, Ma., with the witch trials WAS REAL.

And this has what to do with Halloween? News Flash: Halloween isn't real.

The idea is to go somewhere on Halloween that has a creepy/mysterious history to it. It makes it a lot more interesting and gives it a better feel to the whole experience. Why else do people visit haunted places on Halloween? It's more real than Disney.

From my experience, Pittsburgh was a good city for Halloween.

You can visit the gravesites of those who who were buned as witches. You can visit the house where Cotton Mather lived. All of these sites are supposedly HAUNTED because of the circumstances of these peoples DEATHS.

Can any STAGED Halloween sites say the same?
