Though people in every state undoubtedly go all-out on skeletons, creepy crawlies, mystical spirits, and light-up creatures, Montana always appears to take it to the next level. It probably helps that virtually every city in Montana has a long history of haunts and spooks inhabiting the spaces and buildings we spend the most time in.

But Halloween isn't just about decorating and sprucing up our homes in the scariest of ways: it's also about experiencing the Fall season to its fullest, donning our most creative and custom costumes, snatching up as much candy as possible, and staying up late to feel the pure, crisp, haunting air that surrounds us all.

This begs the question, however, of which city in Montana is the spookiest... and according to Instacart, who's developed a "Scare Score" for most cities in the U.S. based on consumer data involving costume, candy, and decor purchases, Montana has a few cities competing for the top spot.

Let's take a look at the top 5 spookiest cities in Montana with the highest Scare Score.
