Haunted housesTrails & hayridesGhost toursNot too scary
Around Canton, the haunted houses come stacked. Carnival of Horrors at the fairgrounds runs four houses back to back, including an illusion maze where you wear 3D glasses to dodge an axe-wielding host. Parking is free, and tickets are a buck cheaper online. Over in Akron, the Haunted Schoolhouse and Laboratory spreads two haunts across two historic buildings, with bars on site. VIP fast pass holders also get into a museum of oddities with a real human skeleton. Heads up: anyone 15 and under needs a chaperone who's 21 or older.
Want rides with your scares? Fortress of Fear Haunted Scream Park in Alliance mixes haunted walkthroughs with the Tilt-A-Hurl and Glo-Karts, for $35 online or $38 at the box office. Out in Lordstown, Fear Forest Haunted House and Hayride runs a one-mile hayride through a drive-thru vortex tunnel, and the wagons are covered, so light rain won't stop it. For something calmer, the lantern-lit ghost tours in Zoar are an hour long and $19, with free refreshments at the end.
