So how's this for Sunday, the 30th? (all you Orange County and L.A. locals):
I'm thinkin' of checking out two haunted house fun thingies that I got turned onto thru, well, Disneyland:

The first is near Knott's in Buena Park put on by a group called
Phobia. We met these folks in New Orleans Square on Goth Day, and they talked a good talk about a fun haunted house thing they do every year. $2 admission, starting at 7pm that evening. I definitely got the impression that these folks knew how to do fun/scary.

The other is in Laguna Hills, and I got interested in it thru
this thread on MiceChat. It's put on by a guy who uses the moniker "DisneyFreak" over there at M.C., and it's purportedly an absolutely amazing Haunted Mansion tribute that he started posting about over six months ago. Supposedly, he's done this for many years and has added a whole bunch of stuff this time. Seems worth checking out for sure.
Anyways, that's what I'm thinking of filling in Sunday evening with, if anyone would care to join me and Zapppop on our lead-in to 'Ween.

Other than that, I've got the annual Nightmare Before Christmas screening at the El Cap on Thursday, two Halloween parties on Saturday night (ugh, as far away from each other as can be), I'm throwing my office's Halloween party on Monday the 31st, and then heading out to Hollywood Boulevard with some friends for the usual hijinks and weirdities that go on over there on Halloween night.
And on Tuesday, Day of the Dead, that's what I should feel like.
