Halloween is next Monday, a bummer for trick-or-treating but it does mean a weekend full of horror and parnormal events. Here’s a snapshot of the spooktacular events for ghouls and ghosties of all ages happening this weekend, October 28 to 20, 2011.

By the by, there are a lot of horror film festivals this weekend but I didn’t include them, mainly because I wanted to do something this weekend besides write this post. For a full list of all scary to-dos this pre-Halloween weekend, see Goblinhous’ list.
