Halloween is no longer just one night of dressing up and eating too much candy on a school night. Like most holidays, it's been amplified with a monthlong roster of events aimed at kids both young and old. For travelers, that means sweet deals from hotels and attractions looking to capitalize on those who want to celebrate all things darkly hallowed.
New Orleans may be the shooting location for the FX network's popular thriller "American Horror Story: Coven," but the city's roots in dark magic are as long as the line to get into VooDoo Fest. The annual music festival takes place Nov. 1 to 3, with Pearl Jam and the Cure headlining. But for weekenders, the highlight may be the festival's partnerships with local hotels and airlines, which are offering ticket holders discounts on rooms and flights. More details can be found at worshipthemusic.com/travel.
Or, for a an elegant lesson in New Orleans's darker culture, the Hotel Monteleone's Criollo Restaurant is to serve a "Legend of the Rou-Ga-Roux" dinner on Oct. 30, honoring the folklore of the Acadian werewolf.
The dinner, $90, includes a five-course meal that includes black grouper cheeks and cane-marinated pork tenderloin, with spirits, or rather drinks, care of Donner-Peltier Distillers, the maker of Rougaroux Full Moon Dark Rum and other liquors. The hotel itself, like most New Orleans accommodations, is said to be haunted.
In San Diego, the Marriott Del Mar is offering guests a Halloween Fun Parking Package on Thursdays through Sundays until Nov. 2. Starting at $144 a night, it includes a deluxe room with complimentary parking and free shuttle service to and from the city's annual Scream Zone at the Del Mar fairgrounds. One of the largest Halloween events in Southern California, Scream Zone features a giant zombie paintball challenge, a haunted hayride to Zombie Town, a House of Horror and a giant indoor maze.
Also on select nights through Nov. 2, Universal Studios, Orlando, is offering a Gory Getaway package that combines a hotel stay with tickets to the theme park and Universal's Halloween Horror Nights which, this year, will feature shows and attractions themed around the AMC television show "The Walking Dead" and movies like "Resident Evil" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Packages start at $299 per adult for a three-night stay at the Best Western Plus Orlando, or $605 to stay on site at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Studios and include a two-day park pass, a CityWalk Party pass and one night's admission to Halloween Horror Nights. Further discounts are available to Florida residents.
