Keep the Frights in Your Photos and Respect the Locations<\/p>\n

Before you grab your costume and head out for your spooky photo shoot, there’s one important thing to remember: not every location on this list is open to the public.<\/p>\n

In particular, the house on Silver Street is a private residence. Please respect the people who live there. Do not enter the property, approach the home, or disturb the residents for a photo. If you cannot safely and legally photograph it from a public area, skip it.<\/p>\n

Other locations, including the Magoffin Home and Concordia Cemetery, are historic sites that deserve respect, too. Be mindful of posted rules, visiting hours, and any photography restrictions.<\/p>\n

The goal is to capture something creepy, not become the reason someone has to call the cops!<\/p>\n

So whether you’re going for a classic ghostly look, a full-on slasher movie aesthetic, or just want to show off El Paso’s eerier side, these spooky locations might be exactly the inspiration you need.<\/p>\n
