Halloween

Halloween is almost here, and if you are looking to get out and about, there is plenty going on!

Here are some ideas to get you started.

Shocktober Haunt, October 27-29; Paxton Manor in Leesburg

You never know what is in store for you at Paxton Manor or its basement, Carnival of Souls! Dubbed “Northern Virginia’s only REAL haunted house”, the scenes change every year, with over 100 cast and crew out to give you a scare.
