Throughout the world, people tend to plan their trips around the holidays. Yet, when it comes to Halloween, the trend is not so much one of getting away as hiding away. And is it any surprise? After all, this spine-chilling annual event is full of horrors, whether it's on the TV or the terrible costume choices on show at the office party.

This year however, we've decided to turn the tide, mixing travel and terror for a fright night with bite. Following last year's list of Eerie, Creepy and Haunted Historic Sites, the Historvius team has decided to scout some of the scariest places the world has to offer to create a ghoulish guide to the locales you'd love to hate to find yourself in on All Hallows' Eve. So, if you're sick of barricading yourself in your home or fancy something creepier than the local trick or treat, this is the list for you.

Remember, you can explore hundreds more fascinating historical places across the globe with Historvius, the world's leading historic travel guide.
