UPDATED - See changes in italics.

Black Betty, the reigning “Miss Horrorfest” wrote me the news that an open casting call will be held Friday, Sept, 28th Monday, October 1st in Valley Village for anyone who thinks they have the lungs to replace her. She’ll also be present at the auditions - tell her Creepy LA sent you and it may improve your odds at winning the title, which also includes $50,000.

Between screams, Betty says, “The word is the next Miss Horrorfest will be crowned October 31st during the NYC Halloween Parade. SPOOKY!” (I interviewed Black Betty last year for Metroblogging L.A…. read it here)
