Scary Texas Halloween
Even Halloween seems to take on superior proportions in Texas. The state claims the largest Halloween parade in the United States. Additionally, it's home to the largest Halloween-themed park in the world. Top all of that with a sprinkling of terrifying venues throughout the state, and you've got a spooky holiday line-up. Listed here are a couple of the more notable ones.
If you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there are a couple of events you may want to attend. Dallas has the Scaregrounds, which contains three haunted houses. Fort Worth has a few of its own: Cutting Edge Haunted House and Boo at the Zoo. Cutting Edge claims to be the biggest haunted house in the country, and very frightening. Boo at the Zoo is completely the opposite. A lot of family-friendly fun, candy locations, and stage shows around the zoo.
In Austin, go see the Nightmare Factory or head downtown for the 6th Street Halloween. The Nightmare Factory is for the serious thrill-seeker, with maze-like walkways. It boasts the title of "Scariest Haunted House" in Texas. The 6th Street Halloween is a Mardi Gras-like event for residents who line up for blocks down the street dressed in costumes.
Also in the state is the family-style hosting of Six Flags over Texas in Arlington, Terror on the Bayou in Jefferson, and Nightmare on Grayson in San Antonio. All offer varying levels of exhilaration, so everyone from children to kids-at-heart can find something to do. Go get your fright on in Texas.
