5 Wicked Scary Autumn Horror Attractions


1. Salem, Massachusetts  - Salem, Massachusetts, of course, is the home of the Salem Witch Trials made famous by Arthur Miller's Crucible and of course, in almost every history course you took in school.  I hope you remember learning about the Pilgrims from England, the Native Americans, and the Mayflower.  Seriously, you get it.  Anyway, Salem has loads of attractions, which include The Pirate Museum, The Salem Wax Museum, The Witch's Dungeon, Peabody Essex Museum, and a ton of other cool stuff.  The best part of Salem is that its super Pagan friendly and has lots of book and supply shops for herbs, crystals, and magic stuff!

5. Robert the Doll (Key West, Florida) - Robert the Doll, is and was a doll kept by a Key West, Florida artist, Eugene "Gene" Robert Otto from boyhood until his death and well beyond. Robert the Doll now lives in a glass box in a museum in Key West, Florida, his native home.

Robert scared the bejesus out of Mr. Otto's wife and spent much time in the turret room of their Victorian Home in Key West, Florida, wearing his creepy little sailor suit and hat. He kind of looks like a black eyed potato and scares the ever living crap out of most who he meets!

You can click here to watch a video on a Voodoo Legend involving Robby, my hero and my favorite little doll!  

Me? I want to sit him on my knee and read him a long bedtime story! I would like my own turret room with a little widow's walk on the outside so I can hold a candle in the window waiting for my dearly departed lover to come home, um, safe, yeah, I want him to come home safe. Wait, there is nobody who is coming home safe. Yeah, I was getting immersed in the Victorian Romance of the story. Oh wait, there is no romance, just death and a creepy doll left behind that scares everyone and lives creepily in a museum.

You can go visit him and check out more information on his website below!
