October is back! And with October, there is Halloween! There are all different kinds of things you can do, including carving pumpkin, going trick or treating, and best of all? Visiting haunted houses! With Halloween being my favorite holiday, I have come up with a list of different haunted houses you can visit in Alabama this Halloween season if it is your thing. If not, you are welcome to keep drinking that Pumpkin Spice Latte at your local Starbucks!

1). Arx Mortis, Killen, Alabama

A popular attraction in Lauderdale County, Arx Mortis is based on the stories of a young man from Killen named Abram Covington. He discovered a secret society known as Arx Mortis (the latin translation is "The Castle of Death!"). The society had one goal-and that was to summon the children of Perdition who will help unlock the gates to the underworld.

2). INSANITARIUM Haunted Attraction, Pinson, Alabama

It has begun its sixth season in the haunting industry, and follows the mind of Dr. Ausnemen. Legend has it that it used to be a house for the criminally insane. Tickets are only $15, so that is a deal!

3). Darkwood Farms Walking Dead Maze, Arab, Alabama

With a house AND a haunted trail, it is clear that this attraction will give you a good fright. There might be even some real scarecrows.

4). Greenville Haunted Firehouse, Greenville, Alabama

5). Haunted House of Horrors, Courtland, Alabama

With scenes of torture, ax murders, death, and zombies, it might not be advisable to take children who are under the age of thirteen. It also features a Zombie Paintball Shoot, so if you have kids, they might like that better.
