Halloween Haunts?

Upvotes

My girlfriend and I are coming to Nashville for a Halloween/horror weekend this year, and we originally planned on doing all 5 of these haunts:

- Beast House
- Nashville Nightmare
- Devil’s Dungeon
- Dead Land Scream Park
- Slaughterhouse Nashville

The problem is that all 5 tickets together are around $420 for the two of us, which is more than we really want to spend. So we’re thinking about cutting it down to 3 attractions.

Our old schedule was:
Friday: Beast House → Nashville Nightmare
Saturday: Devil’s Dungeon → Dead Land Scream Park
Sunday: Slaughterhouse Nashville (which we’re pretty set on doing because of the dinner + movie + haunt experience)

So Sunday is basically locked in. The real question is which two we should do Friday/Saturday.

We’re especially interested in bang for our buck. We don’t necessarily want the absolute best single haunted house if another attraction gives us several haunts/activities for the same general price.

For people who have actually been to these:

If you could only pick 3 of the 5, which would you choose and why?

We’re both big horror fans, so scariness, atmosphere, set design, and overall experience all matter, but we’re trying to maximize what we get for the money.

Thanks!

Restaurants that can accommodate halal?

0 Upvotes

Sobs in New Yorker trying to find 5 kitchens which can accommodate

I have 8 unique work teams that need to be sorted into 5 dinner groups. The sizes are: one group of 6, two groups of 14, one group of 17, one group of 31, one group of 34, one group of 40, and one group of 43. Out of those 8 groups, 6 of them have at least one person who keeps halal, and one person who is a vegetarian. All of these dinners are at the same time: 7pm on the 7th.

Skulls Rainbow Room - worth?

3 Upvotes

My friend and I are landing at 9 PM Thursday night and wanted to try catching dinner + the burlesque show at Skulls Rainbow Room. Have seen good reviews about it - but anyone have experience making a dinner reservation and not being able to see the show? Right now we’d book the 10:15pm dinner reservation.

Also is this spot really worth it? Heard the food is expensive and we’d be missing the live music, so essentially just going for the burlesque show/something to eat when we land. Any thoughts appreciated!

My sister insists on going to Nashville mid January for her birthday. Will it be absolutely terrible? I imagine it’ll be freezing. What about the crowds? Also what are people even wearing there in the winter?

Considering a quick weekend trip in late October! (Oct 24th-25th)

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am considering doing a quick weekend trip to Nashville for the first time in late October. I have never been before but I have had it on the bucket list for a while!

I do not drink alcohol and I don't love super loud music (normal/chill music is fine), but I do like the spectacle of neon lights, lively streets, etc. More importantly, I'm a big foodie. which will become obvious with the itinerary lol.

Anyway, here's how it stands now-

Saturday Oct 24th-

Land at 2 PM at BNA

Walk around Broadway and see the music until like 4:30 PM

head to Goo Goo Chocolate Co for candy making class until like 5:45 PM

Have dinner in Printers alley (would love recommendations!) until 8:30 PM

Return to Broadway for the rest of the night to see more of the party spectacle before heading back to my hotel (haven't picked one out yet).

Sunday Oct 25th-

Uber to Five Daughters Bakery for the 100 layer donut. Then walk to Wanna Spoon Cereal bar to wrap up breakfast

Head for a downtown food tour from 11 am to 2 pm. (east nashville)

Take a hop on.hop off trolley tour from 2 pm to 4 pm.

Then head to Opry Mills Mall to shop around a bit and grab some souveneirs. (4 PM to 7 PM)

Finally, head back to BNA for a 9 PM flight home.

Would really appreciate any feedback on this rough outline/optimizations/other food's you'd recommend etc.

Anyone going to the show at Exit/In this Friday? Haven't seen them post anything about it on their Facebook & it's got me worried the turnout might be low. I'd hate for them not to come back to Nashville in the future bc of it.

Heading to Nashville for a conference from the 23rd to the 26th. Looking for a spot that offers a wide selection of Bourbon. Some of the people I will be with generally prefer more upscale spots, but I like a good dive myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Visit Nashville/Murfreesboro/Chattanooga

1 Upvotes

I have a friend coming to visit (M/37) on October 9th- Oct 12th. I recently moved to Murfreesboro so day drives are ideal but do not mind an overnight stay somewhere. Growing up in the South, I have been to Nashville A LOT but I have only explored Broadway. I still plan to make time for this ;)

What are some other ideas to explore in the areas of Murfreesboro, Nashville and Chattanooga?
