Once most of the daytime crowds have faded away and darkness falls upon the campus, a chill settles in the air, bringing with it eerie shadows and fiendish delights.

On the evening of Friday October 10, 2008, McMaster University will be transformed into something a bit darker, something perfect to help kick off the Halloween season.

Titles McMaster University Bookstore and Haunted Hamilton have joined forces to offer an event certain to delight both book lovers and those who enjoy getting that creepy feeling of shivers crawling down their spine.

In an event called "Haunted McMaster" ten different authors of horror and the macabre will be at the bookstore starting at 7 PM to meet fans and read from their works. Throughout the night, customized ghost walks of the McMaster campus will be conducted, all starting from the inside of the bookstore in Gilmour Hall.

The event is entirely free and comes with a huge pile of fantastic door prizes which will be given out throughout the evening. So come early, stay late and enjoy the free frights. Doors are open from 7 to 10 PM.
