Denver Haunted Houses on CNN
There’s a fun article on CNN today that interviews KathE Walker, owner of several haunts here in Denver, along with some of her employees. There’s an interesting perspective about haunted houses in the current economy, including an obligatory soundbyte from Larry Kirchner of the Haunted House Association.

Promoting Spooky Colorado
As a newly created “by the people, for the people” type of site, this is a crucially important week for us.

October Lounge is Back, Sort Of
The October Lounge, Haunted Denver’s message boards, have returned. We never got a response to our email, but the boards came back online mid-day yesterday.
