Halloween takes place on the evening of October 31<\/h2>\n

\"halloween<\/a><\/h2>\n

October 31\u00a0is the day before\u00a0All Hallows or All Saints’ Day. Indeed, the name “Halloween” is derived from All Hallows’ Eve. The festival\u00a0incorporates traditions from pagan harvest festivals.\u00a0Typical activities\u00a0include carving pumpkins or jack-o’-lanterns, apple bobbing, and telling scary stories. More recently, the idea of trick-or-treating has been included along with fancy dress parties and watching horror films.<\/p>\n

Fancy throwing a party and telling scary stories?<\/h2>\n

Why not try “Helloween”, the 6 Players mystery game from ITM Games.<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

The game is set in the very old manor house called MacArbe Manor.<\/h3>\n

The bad weather raced you and won. It has settled into a steady rain that could keep up all night. On top of this, it has added a steady wind that is now driving the rain as well as thunder and lightning. This is weather with attitude.<\/p>\n

Your first sight of the house is as a silhouette with the lightning lighting up the gables and the thunder roaring in your ears like a demon.You are here at the invitation of Freddy Loren the new owner of MacArbe Manor. Freddy has purchased the strange old house and created a museum within it dedicated to his ‘Starline Patrol’ Stories. Is that why the mask of Death Raider is on prominent display or does it have a more sinister reason for being there?<\/p>\n

Everyone has a curse to share. The question is, are they being controled by the mask, or is there a more earthly explanation…..<\/h3>\n
