A TWIST ON THE TYPICAL MIAMI GHOST TOUR
Miami ghost tours on Halloween are non-negotiable. And this one comes with an upgrade: a tour right on your smartphone. Connect your phone to your car’s speakers and go on a 25-mile excursion with 15 stops, including the Versace Mansion, the Devil Tree, and the Biltmore Hotel. The tour uses your GPS and plays automatically as you drive by each site (without draining your data).
If you’re looking to have a spooky Halloween date or soak in a little haunted history alone, check out the $10 tour.

FEAR FEST AT A HAUNTED CARNIVAL
What could be creepier than a haunted carnival? This year, you and your friends can go to the “House of Horror” at the Miami International Mall in Doral. There are four attractions in the giant 100,000-square feet mall. Start at the “Mall Mayhem,” where demented clerks and paranormal mannequins abound. Then, make your way to the infested jungle in “Toxic Apocalypse” and try not to get captured in the “1455 Asylum.”
And if you make it through alive, treat yourself to carnival rides, sweet treats, and games.
Dates: September 29-October 21

SPOOKY AT SEA: SAIL THE NIGHT AWAY
Ignore scare-inducing movies like Jaws and Leviathan — this Halloween, the sea is the place to be.

The boat departs from Downtown Miami, so grab your friends and hop abroad before it sails away!
