Get sucked into the Halloween spirit when you visit Busch Gardens’ annual Howl-O-Scream fest. Not only is the park bringing back their renowned scare zones (eight in total), fan favorite shows such as “Fiends” and “The Rolling Bones” and revamping all their popular attractions, but Howl-O-Scream will also see the addition of three haunted houses to the festivities, giving visitors plenty of creepy abodes to check out for that adrenaline high this year. While Howl-O-Scream typically runs for 19 days, the Busch Gardens extravaganza is running for 28 days this year, opening from September 10 to October 31.

With their haunted mazes, scare zones and themed shows, Halloween events have become an annual fall tradition at theme parks. Virtually every park stocks up on fog machines, noisy chainsaws and buckets of gore, hires actors to run amok as brain-thirsty zombies and other creatures and rolls out the blood-red carpet for visitors seeking chills and screams.
Last year, however, something truly scary and horrific happened that upended this and many other traditions: the pandemic reared its ugly virus and nixed most parks’ Halloween plans.
The scare-a-thons are returning with a vengeance this season, albeit sometimes under new (para)normal conditions. For example, since there typically isn’t a lot of social distancing going on in tightly packed indoor mazes, it’s likely the actors won’t be the only ones wearing face masks.

The cult classic comic series Love and Rockets arguably paved the way for the alternative comics revolution of the ‘80s and doesn’t really get the recognition it deserves for its impact on the comic landscape. The serial series follows the misadventures of two primary groups grounded in equal parts realism and fantastical Sci-Fi adventures. The indie comic offered a welcome reprieve from the superhero books that dominated comic shelves at the time, unlike today, where Peanuts Halloween independent comics are much more commonplace. Taking a look back at this punky off-the-wall indie series, here’s everything to know about Love and Rockets.
Love and Rockets was created by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, who are jointly referred to as Los Bros Hernandez. The series began as a self-published single-issue book that was quickly picked up and distributed by Fantagraphics Books. L&R is a serial comic series that prominently follows the adventures of two separate groups written by each respective brother. Gilbert helmed the storyline titled Palomar while Jaime wrote Hopper 13, also known as Locas.
