It’s spooky season yet again! And we all know what that means, don’t we? Vermilion pumpkins, sticky spiderwebs and a tendency towards the creepy and supernatural.
Some of us love to be frightened – to feel our hearts begin to beat rapidly whilst watching a good horror film, or whilst venturing out into the increasingly darker evenings. On Halloween, there are even some people who go all out, and seek out areas that are supposedly haunted!
If you’re one of those people, then you are definitely in the right place…
Whether it’s the ghosts of the long-dead rising to exact revenge, sightings of vampires, the whispering of witches or even the shadow of a savage werewolf – this list is bound to satiate your desire for the truly terrifying.
Be prepared to be scared!
