Fall is officially here, folks! Break out the fleece blankets, rock some flannel and get yourself a pumpkin spice latte. These are the top 10 things to do in October. There's something for everyone: fall festivals and costume parades; haunted houses; corn mazes and pumpkin patches; Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS® at Six Flags Great America; and "supernatural" attractions.
