Haunted Halloween Getaways for Teens and Grownups

Located in the historic and quaint town of Port Townsend, the Manresa Castle has had a reputation of being haunted by the spirits of residents who may have lived in the castle at one time. Whether the castle is haunted or not, you'll want to visit this lovely renovated Victorian hotel that is situated on beautifully manicured grounds. On Saturday, October 29th, the Manresa Castle is offering a special Halloween package that includes: two tickets to The Big Halloween Bash, live music, appetizers, wine or cocktails-and a courtyard room with a view, for two. The cost for the package is only $99 per couple, per room!

The ever-popular KUBE Haunted House, located at the Georgetown Morgue on East Marginal Way, in Seattle, is a favorite of the teen set. If you go, you'll see ghosts, goblins and other ghouls on your tour. Hours vary, so check the schedule before you go; that is, if you DARE.

If you don't want to drive far and can't wait until Halloween to freak you and your family out, then why not "catch" a performance of Quarantine by , starting Oct. 14. It's a "Haunted Forest" full of scary characters at.

Living just minutes from Seattle, it's likely that you've had ample opportunity to venture to the Pike Place Market. However, did you know that this popular local landmark houses the city's first mortuary and part of an old graveyard? "The Market" is not just an internationally recognized tourist attraction, it also boasts one of the top US Ghost Tours in the United States. This might be a perfect place to take your loved one to have a frightfully good time!

Teatro ZinZanni becomes Teatro ZinZombie for one night during the year. You'll be treated to out-of-this-world culinary delights while you listen to blood curdling screams and pay attention to the cabaret's special effects. But be prepared, you might be scared. And you never know when you might be called upon to participate.

On Saturday, October 29th, attend a hallo"WINE" party at Page Cellars or Silver Lake Winery. At Page Cellars, it's all about the tricks. Bring your own TP and "mummify" your friend or loved one in less than five minutes for a 30% discount on your wine purchase (two bottle limit). The party starts at noon and ends at 4pm at Page Cellars and 5pm at Silver Lake Winery. There will be lots of grown up treats-at Silver Lake-including: discounts on wine, live music, prizes, games and more.

This Halloween, you'll have plenty of opportunities to dress up-or not-and enjoy your favorite "tricks" and "treats". Who knows? You might even enjoy the holiday as much as you did when you were a kid!
