I want to thank you for writing about Phantasmagoria V: Death Comes for All. My family and I were looking for something eerie to get us in the mood for Halloween, and this was just the perfect event to get us going. The stories were awesome, and it was bizarre enough to keep you entertained the entire time. Awesome find in Orlando! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Edwin! So glad you enjoyed it :-)
