Good morning, Wayne Martin I thought it seemed a bit early as well, haha. They seem to start everything early these days. I heard an associate in a store the other day talking about putting out the Christmas stuff, haha.

I agree, Lawrence & Sheila Agranoff but it seemed to be slim pickings when I looked at the events going on in the area, haha.

The RIGHT CHARLOTTE REALTOR!

Okay, I’ll admit it, Brian—this sounds like an absolute BLAST for anyone who loves Halloween and horror…but you’d lose me somewhere between “haunted house” and “celebrity horror guests!”

I’d happily browse the vendors and admire the creativity of the cosplay contestants, but the minute something jumped out at me, my spooky-season adventure would be OVER!

Seriously, what a fun and unique event for Mesa—and clearly the perfect way for Arizona horror fans to kick off the Halloween season—one of Ray’s favorite times of the year! LOL 🎃

Hi Brian- The wonderful lady who did my hair would love an event like this. She loves doing ghoulish makeup on people and has done that at special events.

Good afternoon, Dorie Dillard Austin TX I should have trusted my gut and not posted it since I also felt it was way too early for such an event, haha.

Hi Brian:

Seems kinda early for this sort of thing. It's not something that interests me but no doubt there are plenty who will enjoy this Gathering of the Ghouls.
