Halloween is the special time of year when the shades of the dead whisper from forgotten places and spirits walk among us.

Presented by Salem Warlocks Christian Day and Brian Cain hosted by the foremost authorities on the spirit world, Festival of the Dead beckons guests to step through the veil into a realm where spirits await.
