With the Halloween weekend upon us, I have been busy updating the Hollywood Gothique website, making sure all the information you need is at your fingertips. Much of this is simple re-organization, but there is some new information, too.

The rather vaguely titled “Other Halloween Haunts” page has morphed into Halloween Parties & Street Fairs, which you can access here.

We certainly hope you followed our advice and got a jump on the Halloween season by attending the Knotts Berry Halloween Haunt, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, and the Queen Mary Dark Harbor. If you failed to heed our sound suggestion, it may already be too late to catch up, because even more [...]
