The 15 Coolest Places to Celebrate Halloween Across the United States

Marietta, along the state's southeast corner bordering West Virginia, is an underrated Halloween hot spot with one of the area's most notoriously haunted hotels, the Lafayette Hotel. Guests can book the Ghost Hunters Package for a walking tour of historic and haunted downtown Marietta. Nearby is the Haunted Mansfield, home to the Ohio State Reformatory, where much of The Shawshank Redemption was filmed. Better yet, there is a whole trail dedicated to it.
