Escape to Wilmington, NC for a Hallo-Scream Getaway

Prepare for a hauntingly good time!

As one of the most actively haunted cities in the South, Wilmington has no shortage of spine-chilling stories intertwined with our rich history dating back to 1739. With renowned haunted sites around every corner and as the filming location for horror classics like "The Conjuring," "Halloween Kills" and "Scream," Wilmington is the perfect destination for a Halloween getaway. Find beautiful historic mansions where friendly souls still linger, a manor house haunted from a crime of passion and a haunted battleship, buildings, bars and graveyards, all of which are ranked as some of the scariest in the nation. There's plenty of Halloween fun for everyone in Wilmington and our island beaches year-round, especially in the fall.
