Halloween and horror lovers rejoice, a new October festival called Grave Harvest will be haunting SoCal this autumn! From Abracadaver Productions, hosts of a summertime open house and macabre market [my coverage here], comes a new Halloween festival and market to be held in Fullerton, California. The event will feature workshops, classes, haunt displays, Halloween vendors, special guests, and more! I am so excited for this event and can’t wait to check it out.
