10 Places You Don't Want to Visit While Trick-R-Treating

6. Hogwarts - The Harry Potter Films

For the record, Hogwarts is a horrible, horrible place. This is something that all Potter fans should acknowledge. It's not a knock to the books or characters or stories; just that it might be the worst place to ever have a boarding school. Not only are there giant, labyrinth-y rooms and chambers at practically every turn, but the staff doesn't even allow you to know the exist. And if you do find them, you might just run into the issue of having to stab a giant snake or three headed dog. Sure, the floating ghosts would definitely add to the atmosphere, as would the plethora of gothic scenery. But the fact that it's a place of more death, despair, and horror than the majority of war sites should keep small trick-r-treaters away. And let's not forget the stairwells with minds of their own. "Oh, you want to go to the fourteenth floor library? Well, let's take a quick pit stop at the gates of hell, because I've got some carpet I got questions for."

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
