How are you planning to spend your Halloween? No wait, let us guess.
You're going to watch Ghostbusters again, because it has horror elements, you're going to ignore trick or treaters again, because it's essentially just seasonal begging and you're going to pretend to scare your partner by putting a sheet over your head again, because it's still funny. Ish.
But we have different plans for you. Why not just quit your job and spend all of your savings on a horror-themed road trip where you visit the real locations of some iconic scary movies. If that sounds like too much effort, well we've done a Google-based trip ourselves.
