This is the world's scariest haunted house

View this email in your browser Hello! Halloween is this week.  Are you ready?  If you're still thinking about what to do, you've come to the right place.  We've got ghost tours and parties for you to let your inner ghoul loose. Changing gears, you can take care of the rain forest this year by eating palm-oil-free chocolate.  Dia de los muertos is another date that allows sweetness in the face of death. If you're a writer, what could be more fitting than a retreat at Stephen King's mansion?  But first, gird your loins and join us, if you dare... NEWS The scariest haunted house in the world has a 40-page waiver and will pay you $20,000 for finishing Some people go to haunted houses for a few scares, some laughs, and view it as a fun way to get in the Halloween spirit. Others go to haunted houses to get the bejeezus scared out of them and potentially not sleep for weeks. For the latter group, McKamey Manor in Summertown, Tennessee, is your Super Bowl. Featured on Netflix's Haunters: Art of the Scare, McKamey Manor is perhaps the most extreme haunted house in the country. So extreme that no one has successfully completed it.

Rather, it's compulsively spontaneous, full of energy, and brimming with dualities -- bohemian versus mainstream, classical theater versus bouzoukia (nightclubs with live folk music), protests versus festivals. You can explore the mythical world of ancient deities and heroes then stumble across graffiti art in downtown alleyways. Beneath the 2,500-year-old Acropolis, where some of the most pivotal foundations of Western civilization are rooted, lies a city that can be as exciting on Monday evenings as on Saturday nights. Athens means something different to every person who gets to know it, so forget everything you have heard about it, and make it yours.   EXPLORE ATHENS ADVENTURE Operation Skate Tijuana When GRLSWIRL, a female skate community, brings 100 skateboards to migrant refugee children in Tijuana, the harsh reality pauses for a little while and kids get to be kids again.
