Best Halloween Town In Oregon September 14, 2019 Robin Jarvis What are the best Halloween towns in Oregon? Hands-down, the best place to celebrate Halloween in Oregon is in the town of St. Helens. The town embraces its history as the filming location for a Disney Halloween movie with month-long events that take place all over town. From a haunted mansion to the Tiny Parade of Pumpkins, the Festival of Fairies, free street performances, haunted walking tours, and more, St. Helens is the best place to spend your Halloween this, and every year! For more information, see the article above! What are the best haunted houses in Oregon? While you could spend the season seeking out temporary haunted houses made to LOOK haunted, you could also seek out REAL haunts in Oregon, too! St. Helens is regarded as Oregon’s most haunted town and has an insane amount of paranormal activity reported by visitors and locals alike. But if you want to head to a bigger city to celebrate this ghoulish holiday among real haunts, then head to Portland. Allegedly real haunts can be found all over either locale. Happy hunting! What is the scariest place in Oregon to visit around Halloween? It’s not hard to find a haunted place in Oregon, that’s for sure. And Halloween is the best time to embark on a road trip to discover the places with spirits left behind from another time. For some of the creepiest (allegedly) real haunted places in the state take this road trip in the northern region and this road trip in the southern part of the state! Whatever you do this Halloween, have fun and be safe!
