If you're looking for a Halloween celebration to really thrill your friends and family, look no further. Booking.com is embracing the eerie season and giving the ghoul-loving people among us just what we wanted: the chance to be a member of The Addam's Family.
The travel site has listed a real-life recreation of the spooky Addams Family house just in time for Halloween, minus the barren landscape and temperamental gate.
Located in a 19th-century townhouse in Brooklyn's historic Cobble Hill neighbourhood, this spooky manor sleeps up to four guests and features plenty of nods to each individual member of the Addams Family - from Morticia’s plants to Pugsley’s room.

With this in mind, Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort is offering a Halloween family package for a two-night break including accommodation for two adults and two children. Festive activities include pumpkin carving on Halloween, a puppet show, face painting and a luxurious four-course dinner for the adults.
