I can only speak for Virginia.

We have Monster Fest - a one day Monster convention and celebration culminating with an all night movie marathon of monster films

Bush Gardens Howl - O - Scream - this is great fun with numerous haunted houses and great monster themed shows

Hunt Club Farm - this has a haunted hayride, a spooky corn field walk through called the Field of Screams and another haunted walk through that has a traditional monster theme. They also have a Halloween carnival with a large pumpkin patch. 

There is a ghost walk in the city of Portsmouth with a Civil War theme. 

There are many Halloween stores that open for the season.  I counted 14 last time all within driving distance. 

By the way, these are all in the Virginia Beach and Tidewater area except for Bush Gardens in Williamsburg but that is only about a 45 minute drive.  The city of Richmond Virginia has their own bunch of Halloween activities and ghost walks.  Richmond is about an hour and a half drive from Virginia Beach. 

We are very fortunate to have so many Halloween activities all within a short drive of each other.  There are a number of other haunted hayrides and attractions too numerous to name in the same area.  Ghent, an area in the city of Norfolk has a Halloween festival in the streets all costumed. 

It is in fact difficult to hit every activity.

one thing Wisconsin has to offer that So.Cal doesnt and can't ,
is the " real" pumpkin farms, and/or driving through the country , and seeing all the
gorgeous trees with different color leaves falling. .
driving through cornfields , with just a sea of cornstalks... like so far out , you cant see where they end. 
that whole " Fall" ambiance. .
when sundown comes, you can see HUGE bonfires that people have going
just like on their land,  & its just so picturesque and beautiful.
Even the smell is unique and just screams " Halloween is coming !!! " :laugh:...


Sounds wonderful.

I know the feeling and agree.  We celebrate Halloween starting mid September and run all the way through October 31st.  In future years though when I return again from overseas I plan to travel to some other states for "their" Halloween functions to try out some new events.  Good luck to you and I hope where ever you end up traveling to is a blast for you.
