One of the best things about fall is Halloween. What comes with the holiday aside from candy and costumes?
Getting scared.
For those brave souls looking to get spooked this autumn, check out these three Coastal Bend haunted houses.
The Hauntings of Boogeyman Haunted House
If you are looking for a truly terrifying experience this Halloween season, go to The Hauntings of Boogeyman Haunted House, where each year guests will find new attractions to scare you right out of your skin. This isn't your average haunted house, and it surely isn't for the faint of heart. The historical significance of the location on FM 666 means you will be mingling among the living and the undead as you brave through the Boogeyman's closet on your way to the main haunt and other bone-chilling haunted attractions.
