Halloween Blog Carnival - Spooky Thrills Worldwide

Just in case not enough of their chocolates end up in this Halloween's trick or treating loot, Cadbury World, near Birmingham, is planning to go all out for Halloween with a whole Ghosts and Ghouls Week from October 24 to November 1. Kids who come dressed for trick or treat can win prizes for best costumes (two winners every day); there'll be Halloween entertainers, craft workshops, spooky stories and disgustingly ghoulish food served in the café every day.

More grown-up Halloween thrills can be had at some of the UK's most haunted places, where creepy spirits have been spooking locals and tourists alike for hundreds of years.

Once an American celebration (via the Irish and Celtic originals), Halloween is now catching on all over the globe. Hotels and Resorts guide Charlyn Keating Chisholm has polled About.com's Travel team to come up with a collection of spooky special events where you might just try capturing a ghost or a ghoul on film. Check out this week's blog carnival Halloween Around the World.
