Halloween is an interesting time of year. Everyone collectively goes a little crazy. We shed off the summer heat and prepare for the dark, cold winter ahead. It’s refreshing.
And with all six PA racetracks still going strong, you have no excuse to not partake in the festivities!
The one and only Pocono Downs will be having a Grey Ghost and Poltergeist Pace on October 29th, featuring all ghostly colored horses (grey, roan, and lighter shades). The purse is a cool $10,000 and the race also features a Halloween-themed Post Parade! The winner’s circle will be decked-out with Halloween goodies and fun!
But, we know that's not enough. You want the hardcore, adrenaline pumping scares that make this holiday above the rest. You think you can get this jacked up with fear on Thanksgiving? No way. Here’s some of our top picks for haunted attractions throughout Pennsylvania:
