Alright, folks, it’s that time of year again when we pretend we’re brave enough for haunted houses, but deep down know we’ll be sleeping with the lights on for the next month.
Central Ohio’s spooky season is in full swing, and whether you’re in it for the jump scares or just want an excuse to wear a costume without judgment, we’ve got you covered. From horror films that’ll make you rethink your decision to go to the movies to ghost tours that remind you why you don’t mess with the supernatural, these events are boo-nd (see what I did there? Pretty clever!) to leave you questioning your bravery.
Ready to embrace the terror? Let’s dive into the eeriest events Central Ohio has to offer this fall—just don’t say we didn’t warn you.
