Sleepy Hollow, New York

Channel your inner Ichabod Crane as you explore Sleepy Hollow, home to the legend of the Headless Horseman. The town hosts haunted hayrides, the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze with over 7,000 hand-carved pumpkins, and cemetery tours by lantern light. Consider visiting during the Sleepy Hollow Halloween Parade for a spooky celebration.

Travel Tip: Be sure to bring a comfortable pillow for the road as you wind through the Hudson Valley’s eerie landscape. A Hutterite white duck-down Inflatable travel pillow will give you the comfort you need to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep, even if you're staying near haunted grounds.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Known for its dark history, Edinburgh is a Halloween destination like no other.

The city also celebrates the Samhuinn Fire Festival, a traditional Gaelic Halloween celebration that lights up the streets with performances and folklore.
