For the past 12 years, I posted a special Spook Central "Halloween Treat" every October 31st. It was never intended to be an annual thing, but I've managed to keep it going. This year, I didn't know if I would, as I had nothing planned that I could work on quickly. Well, I found something.

This month marks the 28th anniversary of Spook Central. It was way back in the ancient times of August 1996 that the site launched.
