It's October and you know what that means: it's basically Halloween. Pumpkins are being carved, candy is flying off the shelves — buy one, get one 50 percent off at Target; you're welcome — and kids are going to Party City to find the perfect costume. That part of Halloween is fun, but there are some people that like to be scared during this time of year. If you prefer your Halloween to be more on the spooky side and you're looking for some fun activities to do on the East Coast, check out some of these haunted spots to scare your socks off.
