Hollywood Gothique, true to its name, focuses on events in the Los Angeles and outlying areas. But for those of you in the rest of the country, here is a link to an article on Yahoo News that mentions some interesting October destinations outside of Los Angeles.

There are a Fantasy Fest in Key West, Florida with an "Alice in Wonderland" theme; various haunted history tours and parties in New Orleans (some inspired by Anne Rice's novels); a massive parade in New York City; and several redressed attractions in Las Vegas.
