For those of you in the Philadelphia area, the Eastern Haunter’s Convention is scheduled next month. Their Saturday night festivities include the Cadaver’s Cotillion, billed as “The Ultimate Halloween Ball.”

The zombie and undead-themed Mardi Gras costume ball will feature Cajun and Creole food, an open bar, and a costume contest. I know Mike Bruner, one of the convention founders, and I think you can count on him to know how to throw a party. This would be a fun way to wear your finery out of season and celebrate all things dark and creepy.

The cotillion is May 3, in Valley Forge, PA. You can find out more information here and purchase tickets here.
