San Antonio’s Stock Show & Rodeo will host Haunted Hayrides Oct. 22–24, while Northeast Ohio and Greater Cincinnati will offer haunted attractions at historic sites, trails and amusement parks. Mobile will hold a Halloween-themed downtown art walk, and family events are planned in western Massachusetts and Tewksbury, with a haunted trail in Maryland. Green River, Wyoming’s Twisted Tales festival, scheduled for Oct. 30–Nov. 1, will feature daytime and nighttime maze experiences and family activities while raising money for local library and arts programs.
