Best Haunted Houses In The Hudson Valley

gafollowers.com

October means Halloween and Halloween means haunted houses-- Some of us love them, and some of us just love to hate them. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I happen to be one of the people who loves them. Here's a guide to the best haunted houses in the Hudson Valley:

1. Pure Terror Scream Park:Monroe, NY. General Admission: $45.00

Before you get scared off by the price, let me explain. Pure Terror Scream Park has six haunted houses, so you're paying about $8.00 per house (totally reasonable). Originally this haunted house used to be at the Castle Fun Center, but it has since upgraded because it needed more space. I loved it at The Castle, and I love it now. Each house has it's own theme, so you're entertained the whole time. Visit their website for more information: http://www.pureterror.com (Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until October 30th- check website for times)

2. Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion: Wappingers Falls, NY. General Admission: $28.00 (NYS Sales Tax Included)

I admit, I haven't been to this one yet, but it's on my list of places to go. This haunted attraction has gotten good reviews and was even featured on AMC Fear Fest! This haunted house has three attractions. Visit their website for more information:http://thehauntedmansion.com/admission.html (Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until October 30th- check website for times)

3. The Forest of Fear: Tuxedo, NY. Tickets Range from $16-$30 (by night).

Again, I know... the price is a little off-putting, BUT this haunted house features seven attractions for the price of 1 ticket. Voted #1 scariest haunt at http://www.hauntworld.com/haunted_houses this is a can't miss this Halloween. Visit their website for more information: http://renfair.com/forestoffear/ (Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights October 7th- October 30th)

4. Headless Horseman: Ulster Park, NY. Online Ticket: $39.95 + 3.95 service charge + tax. On-site Ticket: $46.95 + tax

Nine attractions all included in one ticket. Voted Top 13 Haunts by http://www.hauntworld.com/haunted_houses you MUST visit this attraction. (Open September 17th- November 5th)

5. TerrorDome Scream Park: Newburgh, NY. General Admission: $18.95 + tax or combo for $35.00

The TerrorDome has been scaring people for 18 years and is back for the 2016 season, be sure not to miss it! Each ticket includes three haunted attractions, and the combo ticket (saves $2) includes all six haunted attractions. This haunted house is another one I have to visit this year. (Open November 30th- October 30th and includes extended hours on specific weekends.)

Happy Halloween!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

2. I will look decent for class.

3. I will go to the gym more.

4. I will go to the library and study more.

5. I will meet new people.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

2. Disappointed you let it get this bad

3. Distracted: When a 10-Minute Break Becomes an Hour

4. When the Yearning for Sleep Sneaks Up

5. In the words of Lorelai Gilmore "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee"

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
