Creepy Halloween Lodgings

These creepy places to stay during a Halloween vacation may be too late to consider this year but they're not going anywhere soon so keep them in mind for the future. You can't stay in all of these places but for those that you can, there's that extra layer of creepiness.
The Haunted Hull House in Chicago. Let's get out of here Raggy!
Nighttime tour of Alcatraz. That place is creepy enough in the daytime.
The Crescent Hotel and Spa Sleep in a morgue.
The Lizzie Borden murder house is now a bed and breakfast! Would you like your grapefruit in 40 or 41 slices?

Never Volunteer, Dummy
Ever since seeing Anthony Hopkins in Magic, ventriloquists and their evil dummies have given me the creeps. This guy does as well but I laughed nonetheless. I think I could sit through his entire act but could never get past the queasiness and actually volunteer like this guy did. Go »

I only learned a few months ago that Fall River (about 30 minutes away from me) was home to Lizzie Borden and that her house is still there -- pretty freaky stuff.
