Halloween in Second Life has always been a popular time of year and this year is no exception. Whereas many of you will already have plans for parties events and such like, the Second Life Destination Guide<\/a> will also help you to find some gems which will be around for a few days at least, after the event.<\/p>\n

Linden Lab have added a new attraction to their impressive Portal Park, a Haunted Halloween Tour.<\/p>\n

Haunted Halloween Tour<\/h1>\n

What will you do this Halloween? Help children with a sugar fix? Buy overpriced masks from big-box stores? Do something different, something frightening and fun. Linden Lab is proud to present the Haunted Halloween Tour. Strap in and prepare to experience haunts, ghouls, death, scares, and a descent through madness itself. It\u2019s definitely not for the faint of heart!<\/p>\n

This is an attraction that takes advantage once more of the experience tools and allows you to ride a coffin up to the house and get spooked with shadowy figures appearing in the windows and much more.<\/p>\n

Moving on there’s the Smithsonian De Los Muertos Festival taking place until November 2nd and on my brief visit this was a busy sim, although a lot of people were hanging around in the graveyard!<\/p>\n

I’ll have to go back and take another look when I have more time because there was a sign regarding a film festival.<\/p>\n

There are a couple more eye catching destinations which I haven’t fully visited yet. They aren’t specific Halloween destinations and in terms of the first one, it isn’t even a horror themed location, it’s more of an art destination. However I’ve seen some gorgeous images on Flickr of Little Town by Cica Ghost. I did land there and noticed that they had received over 300 visitors today and more than 300 yesterday.<\/p>\n

Little Town by Cica Ghost<\/h1>\n

The inhabitants of Cica Ghost’s Little Town have all disappeared for the day, are they just hiding? Take this chance to to explore their quirky, curious, humorously delightful island.<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, is a destination that unfortunately I haven’t yet visited yet. However it once again looks very impressive from the images I’ve seen. Damned Divine Haunted House has the look of a zombie apocalypse but is described as a sim wide haunted house.<\/p>\n
