THE 352, FL (352today.com) – What can we say about Halloween that hasn’t been said about a million times by the millions of kids trapped in adult bodies? It’s fun whether you’re an actual kid (trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, getting scared) or an actual adult (parties, horror movies, scaring kids, getting scared).

October is a well-established month for goings-on in North Central Florida, with many annual events coming back year after year due to popular demand. There are also always a few new things to hit up every year, as well.

Whether you’re looking for local supernatural lore, a list of the area’s best haunted attractions, or just a total rundown of the month’s spooky events, we’ve got you covered this year—and we’ll be adding more stories and events all month long.

So, take a look around our guide to Halloween in the 352… just make sure you do it with the lights on. (Or don’t. You’re probably kind of an adult.)
