Turns out a far more exhilarating option exists a couple of hours away. What&#x27;s happening: A $50 ticket gets you into Fright Fest at Six Flags New England in Agawam.

(If you just want the rides, it&#x27;s $40.)If the jump scares or bloodied zombies don&#x27;t give you an adrenaline rush, the rides will. Yes, it costs more than a ghost tour in Salem, but the lines are better and parking is manageable.

The intrigue: While Salem has seen this year, the theme park has maintained a steady flow of visitors.Besides, we could all use a trip beyond I-495. Details: Fright Fest runs through Nov. 6 and features within five themed scare zones: &quot;Screampunk,&quot; &quot;CarnEvil,&quot; &quot;Holiday Horror,&quot; &quot;Slaughter Hollow,&quot; and &quot;Demon District.&quot;The park has five haunted houses and various Halloween-themed live shows.

I made the trip last Friday night in under two hours and checked out the park with Springfield Republican reporter Steph Barry.We rode the Thunderbolt and Batman (twice) before venturing into a couple of haunted houses. The performers successfully scared Barry and other visitors, judging by the screams I heard throughout the night. The haunted houses had jump scares, but the creepy inhabitants don&#x27;t touch you.

Nor should you touch them. &quot;Unless you have your rabies shot up to date, you&#x27;re getting very expensive medical bills,&quot; an employee outside a circus-themed haunted house joked. Plus: For a more family-friendly vibe, the park also hosts by day.

Worth noting: The park recommends the event for people ages 13 and up. Costumes that include masks or full face coverings, including hoods with zippers, aren&#x27;t allowed. The bottom line: Even though Fright Fest isn&#x27;t unique to Massachusetts, it can still fill the void left by not visiting Salem around Halloween Some more spooky fun: If Western Mass is out of reach, there&#x27;s always a good old-fashioned Halloween party. in Somerville is hosting Harry Potter-themed trivia nights with costume contests on Friday and Saturday starting at 4pm.The annual Doggone Halloween Parade downtown, starting at noon Saturday.
