From Kim Knox Beckius, your About Travel Editor
Greetings, Travelers! This week, our fearless Guides take you to the world's spookiest places including the goriest spot on the Las Vegas Strip, a mysterious Southeast Asian site to rival Stonehenge and the real Dracula's final resting place. If you're prepared to be scared, read on! ~Kim

Find Thrills and Chills from Coast to Coast
Theme parks used to throw in the towel after Labor Day. Now, virtually every park stages a Halloween event. Universal Orlando hosts Halloween Horror Nights, Knott's Berry Farm is transformed into Knott's Scary Farm, Six Flags parks have Fright Fests. Here's your guide to spooky fun at these and other North American amusement parks this fall.

Drink Beer with the Undead in America's Most Haunted City
By day, Savannah, Georgia, is charming, sultry and utterly captivating. By night? America's most haunted city becomes a dark, mysterious place. Embrace the spirits by venturing out on one of the city's many spooky tours. There's even a Haunted Pub Crawl for thirsty grown-ups who want to raise a toast with a ghost!

Encounter the UK's Celebrity Spooks
Why mingle with the spirit world's riffraff when you can bump into a beheaded queen or, say... Winston Churchill? The National Trust manages 300 of the UK's most historic buildings, and several are supposedly haunted by rather distinguished ghosts. Whether you're a believer or you think it's all a lot of tosh, these historic spots are worth a visit.

Get Scared Silly Year-Round at the Goretorium
Director Eli Roth has built a haunted house in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, and if you're a fan of his Hostel horror film and its sequel, you probably have some sense of what to expect. Without giving away too many spoilers, let's just say you may never look at a hotel kitchen or banquet hall the same way again, and you won't be going to the chapel in Vegas anytime soon.
