One of the best parts about October is the plethora of scary activities leading up to Halloween. From picking out which costume will be the scariest to stocking up on creepy crawly decorations, this month is full of fun. The penultimate October activity has to be going to haunted houses, giving you and your friends a healthy dose of fright. These two are different -- the first is pretty scary, while the second is the scariest thing you may ever experience in your life. Enjoy!
