Haunted Tour of Town

Many towns and cities will have nighttime tours of streets and cemeteries, talking about the history and the spooky myths surrounding them. There are a few different options, and while Williamsburg and Richmond are most known for their hauntings, Colonial Ghosts will definitely creep you out with the facts and myths of Norfolk streets.

Pumpkin picking and Carving

Okay, so living by the beach can create a few issues when it comes to getting lost in nature and farmland, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick some pumpkins! Norfolk Farm Market is here to help, and if you go on a weekend you can even squeeze in a free hayride. It’s open on Halloween and you can go find the perfect pumpkin for you.

Rocky Horror
-
Naro Cinema in downtown Norfolk is known for hosting regular Rocky Horror viewings, but nothing quite as spectacular as their Halloween event. Watch the film, the actors, dress up, and cap off your celebration with a cult classic. There are showings that start at 7:15 pm and 11:30 pm. Even if you’re out of town, head to the city for a theater putting on a production and you’re in for a wild adventure.

Eat out — for cheap!
-
There’s no need to cook on Halloween when you could get a $3 burrito from Chipotle, and all you have to do is go in costume! Krispy Kreme will go a step further and give costumed customers a free donut of their choice, including the Halloween themed ones. Baskin and Robbins will only charge $1.31 per ice cream scoop. If you buy anything from Sbarro in costume, you’ll get a free slice of pizza along with it. Do I need to say more or is your stomach grumbling?
