HOW TO DO HALLOWEEN IN BOSTON

I know it’s barely October, but if you saw the hits our Halloween pages are getting, you’d think it was All Hallows’ Eve. Boston is sprinting toward spooky season and I’m just trying to give the people what they want. Apparently, that’s haunted happenings, spooky photo ops, costume shopping, horror movies and making October as weird as possible.
