9Sleepy Hollow, New York
Immortalized by Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” this Hudson Valley village is one of the most atmospheric places to spend Halloween. Sleepy Hollow embraces its legend of the Headless Horseman with a variety of haunted attractions and events. Visit the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where Irving himself is buried, or attend the Horseman’s Hollow, a haunted trail that brings the chilling tale to life. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, with thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, is another highlight. Sleepy Hollow’s foggy landscapes and centuries-old cemeteries provide the perfect eerie backdrop for a spooky Halloween adventure.
