One of the best ways to spend the Halloween season I’ve found is seeing one of the Charles Band Road shows. This year Full Moon has put together a major convention in it’s place. The Full Moon convention is loaded with an amazing line up. If you can make it I’m sure you’ll be happy. Here are the details.
