Locals and visitors can load up on terrifyingly tasty treats at Sam Houston Jones' Trunk r Treat, venture through the deepest, darkest woods of Lake Charles on the Lost Hollows haunted trail, or travel back through time and explore the history of some of Lake Charles' most notable early settlers during the Living History Cemetery tour. October is also prime festival season in Louisiana’s Playground with thrilling concerts including Whiskey Myers on Halloween night.
