Best Halloween Haunts

Do they celebrate Halloween in Europe? Why yes, they do. In fact, the whole Halloween thing seems to have be the results of combining the ancient Roman Feralia, commemorating the passing of the dead, with the Celtic Samhain.

The London Dungeon
The London Dungeon is always a winner for a great place to be scared! This Halloween meet The London Dungeon's new mischievous Halloween character – The Trickster – residing at the attraction for a limited time only, from 29 September to 4 November. Lurking around corners and ready to startle you and your unsuspecting mates, be prepared to face The Trickster's terrible torture or, if fortune is on your side, be pleasantly surprised by a sweet treat – all in the name of scary fun.

The London Dungeon is a popular London tourist attraction,[1] which recreates various gory and macabre historical events in a grimly comedic 'gallows humor' style, attempting to make them appealing to younger audiences. It uses a mixture of live actors, special effects and rides.

Opening in 1974, it was initially designed as more a museum of "horrible history", but the Dungeon has evolved to become an actor-led, interactive experience.

Disneyland Paris Halloween party, with Main Street USA turning into Spooky Street

Disneyland Paris at Halloween is color and laughter, games and sweets; the festival of Autumn as celebrated in Disney's American homeland. The fiendish Disney Villains come out in force and the Disney characters dress up in special spooky costumes for exclusive shows and events throughout the month!

The big night itself sees Disneyland Park and its attractions open just for ticket holders until 1am with villains and ghouls running riot across the lands. Street entertainment, characters, face painting, sweets and a spectacular midnight finale make this an exclusive Halloween night you'll never forget.

Dublin Ireland
Ireland's capital city, Dublin hosts Samhain in typically flamboyant style with a huge parade from Parnell Square along O'Connell Street and finishing in Temple Bar in a kind of carnival of all things ghostly and ghoulish.

At Malahide Castle close by there are ghost tours inside Ireland's oldest inhabited castle, which is haunted by five spectres. There is the ghost of Sir Walter Hussey, killed on his wedding day in the 15th century, who walks the halls seeking revenge on the rival who killed him and married his fiancé. Then there is that of Lady Maud Plunkett, chasing her long dead husband through the corridors of the castle. But the most gruesome is the ghost of Miles Corbett, who was hung drawn and quartered and who appears as a Cromwellian soldier before falling into four pieces. The ghost tours at the castle outline many a fascinating tale throughout the building's 800 years and is sure to entertain all the family.
