Convenience Big Store: Poll: Where is the best haunted house in the Houston suburbs?

Where is the best haunted house in the Houston suburbs?

Happy unofficial 'Mean Girls' Day! The famous line, "On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was," always plays in my head on this day.

I consider "spooky season" to officially start after 'Mean Girls' Day. This is my favorite time of the year. I love to see the pumpkins, costumes, skeletons, Spirit Halloween stores and haunted houses slowly start to pop up around towns.

I can't wait to drive through neighborhoods to see their Halloween decorations, but this year, I want to find the best haunted house experience in the Pearland or Houston area.

If you know of any good ones this season, answer our Houston haunted house poll!
