Event management for Halloween

Events management students and horror fans might be interested in an article in today's Irish Times about tourism events that revolve around Halloween. The article looks at events, like the Tayto House of Horrors and the Haunted Spooktacular Horror Farm, that are run just for Halloween. Companies that run events all year, like the Dublin Bus Ghost Tour, ghosthuntireland.ie and the Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls, Canada, are also reviewed.
