   The contest, which interested Halloween revelers can enter on Airbnb's website, offers overnight accommodations for two people Oct. 31 in the Catacombs, a public museum that was filled with the remains of about six million Parisians to relieve cemetery overpopulation in the late 18th century.

   The listing's "rules" state guests should "respect the Catacombs as you would your own grave" and there are no pets allowed, but "you can be assured there will be a monster under your bed." 
   
   The contest calls for adventuresome entrants to "tell the host before midnight October 20th why you think you're brave enough to sleep in the catacombs."
target: – If your idea of a perfect Halloween involves spending the night with 6 million dead people, Airbnb has just the thing. It's offering up a free night in the Catacombs of Paris on Oct. 31 to the person who submits the best essay here. The winner will get a private concert in what Time calls "basically the world's biggest grave," a fancy dinner, and the apparent honor of becoming "the only living person to wake up" in the catacombs, according to the contest. One guest is allowed. Airbnb reportedly paid about $400,000 for the privilege of privatizing the site for the night, reports AFP. “Before bedtime, a storyteller will have you spellbound with fascinating tales from the catacombs, guaranteed to produce nightmares," says the contest. The Catacombs of Paris, a labyrinth of tunnels set up to relieve cemetery overcrowding in the 18th century, are now a public museum, notes UPI—and a major tourist attraction. The Airbnb rules ask guests to "respect the Catacombs as you would your own grave." The contest deadline is Oct. 20. (In the US, a woman's Halloween decorations outside her home were apparently a little too realistic.)
