Funny what you find when you’re Googling. I typed in Scary Halloween Cities and came up with this fun list by Realtor.com: The Top 50 Scary Halloween City Names.

The list includes places I’ve heard of like Mystic, Connecticut and Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. But have you ever been to Bad Axe, Michigan; Frankenstein, Missouri or Slaughter, Louisiana? And now when you tell somebody to go to hell, you can actually mean Hell, Michigan. There’s also a Hell For Certain, Kentucky and Half Hell, North Carolina.

I’m headin’ to Pumpkintown, South Carolina. Not scary, but fun.

    About Me

    I'm a professional freelance writer and photographer who has been in the journalism 'biz since 1988. I live on a small farm on an island in Puget Sound with my husband, chickens, turkeys and our very own field of dreams. When I'm not packing and unpacking from exploring the seven continents (yup, I've done 'em all), I enjoy theater, movies, jazz, fine food, heavenly spas and long dinner parties with my family and friends. Oh, I grew up in the '60s and I sort of remember it through the haze.
