NOTE: I was working at AOL when we noticed we had tons of Halloween events to promote, but none of the venues had any description. I was asked to make it happen. Now, I've never been to Denver, but with some web research and some creative writing, I think I managed to pull it off. Nobody complained.

Thornton Town Center:
The tranquil suburban surroundings of Thornton Town Center give way to supernatural forces every October, playing host to the Nightmare Factory. The 20-room haunted house covers 8,000 square feet, and offers families a chance to be scared by something other than retail prices.

Home Depot is the largest store in this mall, but you can grab quick necessities at the ¸ price store or enjoy a movie on the 10-screen multiplex.

Buckingham Square Shopping Center:
Every fall, Aurora's favorite shopping center becomes the home of one of the most impressive haunted houses the Halloween season will see. The home of Dillards and Nextel plays host to Alien Terror -- not for the faint of heart or for children -- a sci-fi tour de force that hearkens back to Freddy Krueger and those wonderful Aliens who tormented Sigourney Weaver.

Reinke Brothers Haunted Mansion:
Most of the year, who would pay any special attention to the 33-room storefront in downtown Littleton? Every fall, it becomes much more worthy of note, hosting the Reinke Brothers Haunted Mansion. Nobody ever seems to notice that it's not a mansion at all, as they're normally too busy having the heck scared out of them.

Southglenn Shopping Center:
A normally sedate shopping center comes alive every fall with Booville, a G-rated indoor haunted adventure. The makers of the fearsome and renowned Alien Terror and the Catacombs come together to make a tear-free holiday treat at Southglenn.
