I don't remember being scared but I guess I should have been because I had no jacket, gloves or parental supervision. I was just out begging for candy from strangers and vandalizing quiet neighborhoods with very little resistance.

Things have definitely changed these days, people watch their children, get them home at a reasonable hour and limit their sugar intake. Then, the parents get a babysitter and visit a haunted attraction that looks so real people vomit and urinate on themselves. Man, human beings are weird and I love it.

There is nothing quite like the physical and emotional rush of being scared or scaring someone. But where can you go for such a service? There are so many haunted attractions that you will lose count but if you're anything like me, you just want to know where the nearest ones are.

Haunting in the Hat City - Halloween IS Deer Hill Avenue in Danbury

The Halloween experience in Danbury, CT is all about Deer Hill Avenue. The police close off the street, the homeowners go to great length to decorate their homes and thousands of trick-or-treaters line the street each year in search of candy. Despite some rain, 2022 appeared to be another successful Halloween on DHA. My wife Erica and I brought our daughter Vida (zombie) to enjoy the spooky experience.
