I haven't missed a Halloween in Salem for 11 years- I'll be there with a non-GB costume on, but if I see you guys I'll be sure to say hi.

This was a lot of fun last year. Looking forward to it again this year.

Thursday the 31st, right?

I've been considering going up this Saturday the 26th, but I have Bruins tickets.

LOL! Where!? They always have all the good streets blocked off. My buddies and I took the Superior Ecto through there on Halloween 2002 and the crowd almost rolled the car.

No joke. Tons of car,...21 feet long the crowd swarmed and literally started rocking the Ecto. It was like something out of World War Z. A pudgy Salem cop came out of the crowd and said, "The lights and siren work on that thing?"

I was like, "Yeah!"

"Fire em' up and get the Hell outta here before they tip ya!"

Good luck!

Cops have gotten WAY more involved with Salem on Halloween since then - they're pretty much everywhere, and they are itching to shut the whole thing down as soon as the fireworks are over with. No doubt they would be all over a situation like that if it happened now.

I would have loved to see that! Not the tipping of the car but the "let's run some red lights" moment.

I'll be downtown on thursday in full gear. I work right near downtown and i'll probably bring my gear with me to work and walk from there. I'll be going in maybe this weekend and the next. If it's warm out, I'll go in my Ash (Evil Dead) costume during the weekends.

Then it looks like we may have already met!

Pretty sure you weren't the Ash I saw at Gulu-Gulu Saturday night either then. I'll keep an eye out this Thursday.

Where and when are we gonna meet up Thursday?

Last year I believe we met up on Salem Common, near the gazebo. It's a good place to meet.

I remember I couldn't find parking anywhere near there. Any tips on parking on Halloween in Salem?

The parking garage at Derby and Hawthorne isn't as well known as the one at the Mall, so it may not fill up as fast (it's also cheaper, IIRC).

Best tip I can give, though, is come early!
