Halloween is just around the corner, and if you don’t already have a case of the heebie jeebies, now’s the time. Fake, sticky spiderwebs line the streets, jack’o lanterns grin from doorsteps and inflatable ghosts, while oftentimes collapsed in the grass, signal that All Hallows Eve is upon us.

If that’s not enough to make your blood run cold, don’t worry. Whether you’ve had your White Claw costume ready for months or you’re still throwing something together, there are plenty of Houston Halloween events worth your time. In the mood for a trick? Or treat? Either way, there’s something for you.

You’ve got the haunted houses set to make you jump out of your skin — taken to an all-new level. You’ve got the pumpkin patches. But there are also the types of celebrations you may never have encountered, like classic car shows, balls in funeral museums and even treats through historical parks. It’s alright if you can’t keep track of Houston’s Top 20 Halloween Events.

PaperCity has got you covered with the best Houston Halloween treats:
