Looking for a howling good time this Halloween? To make this season even more spook-tacular, we’re creep-ing it real with a round up of all the haunted experiences in the KC metro.

For this story however, we’re stepping off the beaten path (like the beginning of every classic horror movie) for some real haunted action.
