I’ve mentioned before that my other great lifelong love outside of TTRPGs has always been Halloween. As a child I loved the chance to dress up and pretend to be different characters. During my senior year of high school in 1988 I volunteered at the Cobblestone Arts Center Haunted House, in Rochester, NY. It was during this time that I learned to walk on stilts and have portrayed a 9′ version of Frankenstein’s monster for every year since.

While the crazy bar parties are behind me, I still manage to find an event to haunt every year. This year I was lucky enough to return to the Historic Irvington Halloween Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana. Named after Washington Irving, of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow fame, Irvington is a wonderful Halloween destination. The neighborhood has hosted the Halloween festival every year since 1947. The residents do an amazing job decorating and there are events throughout October leading up to the street festival itself. I’ll be back to regular posting next week but in the meantime, enjoy some spooky pictures.
