Back in 2015, travel site Atlas Obscura ran a series called “100 Wonders”, which covered 100 different little-known and thrilling or chilling spots or phenomena from around the world. Many of them, especially those posted during October, were about creepy, Halloween-appropriate things one could go see on a trip if they like being scared. This 100 Wonders playlist is a perfect place to start if you’re looking for a chilling-secrets-filled trip in the month of Halloween.

The Necropants

The “necropants”, called Nábrók in their native Iceland, are on view at the Icelandic Museum of Witchcraft. Well, a replica of them—the real thing would not be appropriate to show in person! These are an object used in old Icelandic magic rituals and are made from some … unsavory materials. Warning, the video below describes the fairly gross process of creating this object, so skip this if you’re squeamish. But, it’s a great thing to go see if you’re looking for a thrill on an October trip to Iceland.

Clown Motel

The Clown Motel, set in the Nevada desert, is more or less what it sounds like: a motel filled with clown paraphernalia. If you live in the Western USA, and you want to take a creepy road trip for Halloween, this is a perfect place to stay the night. Unless you enjoy clowns, in which case, it’s a perfect place for you to stay at any time of year!

Highgate Cemetery

London’s beautiful but decrepit Victorian cemetery was the site of a local hysteria. Spurring dueling magicians, vampire-hunting teenagers, and a lot of shenanigans, much of the town was convinced in the mid-1900s that real supernatural creatures were roaming the night at this location.

Fall is truly one of the best seasons for travel. It’s not too hot, it’s not too cold, and the crowds that usually hit popular destinations in the summer have calmed down. Prices are lower, autumn vibes are in full swing, and nature is absolutely beautiful. So if you’re looking for somewhere to travel to this fall, here are our picks.

Santorini, Greece

Santorini is stunning year-round. After all, there’s a reason why more than two million people make it a point to visit every year. But the best time to visit is in the off-season, meaning October and November. It’s less touristy and more authentic, plus the weather is still quite nice.

Salem, Massachusetts

If you’re a fan of Halloween, then there’s no better place to go in October than the spookiest, witchiest place in all of the United States, Salem, Massachusetts. Known for the infamous Salem Witch Trials, the city now celebrates horror and the occult throughout the year and especially throughout October.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Want to see something breathtaking? Then you have to visit Albuquerque during the International Balloon Fiesta in October, which is often called the most photographed event in the world. It’s an experience that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.
