Next Halloween, Visit One of the Most Terrifying Places on Earth

Terror Behind the Screen is scary, creepy and fun. And pretty realistic. But if you're into REAL world terror, check out some of the most terrifying places on earth - that actually exist.

In no particular order, here's a look at some of the scariest places on the planet.

The Island of the Dolls, Xochimilio, Mexico City

Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, Sicily Italy. In the late 16th . century, when a graveyard on the grounds became full, Italian leaders excavated underground catacombs for burials. They were divided among "religious" men, children, even virgins - all dressed in their finest clothes. Once word spread of how the underground climate mummified the bodies, people began to want to be buried there. To this day, several thousand mummified skeletons stand next to each other, row after row after row.

Snake Island, Sao Paolo, Brazil. This island is 90 miles off the coast of Sao Paolo, Ilha De Queimada Grande (Snake Island) is home to at least one deadly snake per every 1-5 meters! Already known as the home of the deadly lancehead genus snake, thousands of years ago the island was cut off from the mainland when sea levels rose, and over time, to survive, the snakes have evolved. Because there's no land-level prey to eat, they've learned to climb trees and strike at birds (or people!) from the air. And their venom has evolved into a toxin five times stronger than those snakes on the mainland - it can instantly kill any creature, and melts human flesh. Brazilian authorities strongly discourage any tourists from visiting this place, but some scientists still do.
