Spooky season is just around the corner, and here at Vaden Chevrolet, we’re ready for the tricks and the treats. If you’re wondering what to do around the Savannah area this Halloween, we’ve got you covered. Servicing the Savannah area, our staff know plenty of activities to suggest for you and your family, whether you’re entertaining little ghosts with trick or treat or hosting an adults-only gathering. Here’s our guide for what to do in Savannah this Halloween.
What To Do This Halloween In Savannah
Savannah can be a spooky place when it’s illuminated with a thousand pumpkin faces and phantoms running about looking for candy and a bit of mischief. But despite all the scares, the city offers some great activities for families and adults that you can enjoy over and over each year. Take a look at these few examples:
Take A Blue Orb Ghost Tour
There’s nothing more terrifying than prowling the streets of Savannah in the dead of night on All Hallow’s Eve, searching for the real ghosts of the reverent dead. If you’re looking for the best, you’ve found it, because the Blue Orb Ghost Tour is one of the top ten ghost tours in the entire world. Offered to those 18 years of age and older, this one-of-a-kind spooky experience pits your bravery against the scary specters of Savannah’s deep, rich history. Enjoy a two-hour zombie tour for adults only, a 90-minute family-friendly ghost tour, or a private ghost tour.
Get Your Fill At The Annual Vampire Ball
Calling all creatures of the night, it’s time to gather at the annual Vampire Ball hosted by Markster Con for one evening only on Oct. 16, from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Georgia’s oldest city is sure to bring out the real vampires with this stunning, festive, and fun one-of-a-kind activity. Enjoy the Ghost Coast Distillery’s impressive menu of drinks and appetizers while you mingle with your fellow vampires and compare stories of blood-sucking adventures. This is an adult-only event, and all participants must be over 21 to enjoy it.
Crawl The City With The Nightmare On Congress Street Bar Crawl
If you’re more of a festive bar crawler than a ghost hunter or veracious vampire, you’re in luck — there’s a special event made just for you, called the Nightmare on Congress Street Bar Crawl. Enjoy some of Savannah’s best spots with this impressive crawl, featuring several stops, a costume contest, and, of course, a grand prize for the best costume totaling $2,000. Costumers enjoy transportation services so you won’t have to worry about a designated driver, and each stop is hand-picked for a wicked fun time. Don’t forget your friends on this one.
Enjoy Filmmaking With The Savannah Film Festival
At the end of this October, the Lucas Theater is offering one of the most harrowing and truly frightening film experiences to ever grace the screen. The classic horror film, “Nosferatu,” filmed in 1922, is the attraction for the night. This is the oldest surviving film depiction of Bram Stoker’s classic monster, “Dracula,” the first vampire, and is something to behold. It’s a silent film, but don’t let the lack of sound production and modern film tricks deceive you. This is a film you’ll want to see, and the Lucas Theater is the place to see it in comfort at a renowned film festival.
Run The Miles At The Trick Or Trot 5K
If you’re more of an active Halloween enthusiast, you might want to participate in the Trick or Trot 5K race to support local charities. This family-friendly event typically takes place in mid-October, with the exact date for 2022 to be announced. Bring the kids and your costumes for two different races, the 5K and the 10K.
Visit The Marshall House
Haunted houses are a classic Halloween attraction, and we’re not talking the jump scare types, either. The Marshall House is said to be one of the most haunted buildings in Savannah, and just a look at this 19th-century home can send chills down even the bravest ghost hunter’s spine. A civil war icon, this house is said to be home to several civil war-era phantoms, including Union soldiers walking in the afterlife still in their uniforms, and a woman who seems to be stuck in one of the bathroom stalls in the home.
Cruise The City In A Hearse Tour
Ever wanted to know what the deceased feel like riding around in a hearse? Now you can, with the added benefit of perhaps meeting some of the decease in a hearse ghost tour. Load up the family and friends in an old hearse modified for group travel to explore some of Savannah’s most haunted spots. The hearse just seems to give these tours an extra bit of spookiness the other tours simply can’t replicate. You’ll be awed and amazed not only by the tour, but the cost, which is less than $15 for children and closer to $20 for adults.
Party It Up At Moon River Brewing Company
The Moon River Brewing Company is a notoriously haunted building in Savannah, with a rich history and plenty of phantoms to scare your socks off. Enjoy some of the city’s best brews while you experience a ghostly presence that’ll leave you shaking and eager for more. The building was first erected in 1821, and has a dark and violent history that some believe contributed to its ghost population today.
Drift Through The Haunted Forest At Savannah Moose Lodge
A haunted forest seems to bring its own brand of creepiness to the Halloween holiday, and now you can enjoy a guided haunted forest tour at the Savannah Moose Lodge. Enjoy brews and food to satisfy any taste, then take to the haunted trails and trees of the forest, which is consistently rated as one of the city’s best scary experiences. Plus, you’ll be contributing to a good cause, as all profits go directly to the local children’s hospital.
