Why HalloweenCon?

Well, honestly...we had always wanted to do a convention on our favorite holiday. And the hotel happened to mention that Halloween weekend was very quiet, and asked if we'd consider doing an event then? Coincidence? Synchronicity? Fate!

Besides, we were getting real tired of being told we were too old to Trick or Treat....!
