The Harford Park Community Association meeting hall on Linwood Avenue has been transformed into a very scary place.
If you're looking for a thrill this weekend, you won't need to travel far — the Harford Park Community Association building on Linwood Road has been transformed into a Hall of Horrors. Community Association vice-president Mike Kaspar, a New Jersey native, has helped make the hall a haunted house for the past three years. This year promises to be better than ever. Low-ceilings, black tarps and narrow hallways set the scene for horror movie favorites like Jason (of Friday the 13th fame) and Freddy Kruger (of Nightmare on Elm Street), to frighten visitors. Patch did a walk-through on Thursday night and even without actors, a soundtrack or the screams of the terrified people ahead of you, the scenery was pretty creepy. Best of all, the Hall of…

Buy flame-resistant costumes and decorations, and be cautious before opening your front door.
During trick-or-treating it might be convenient to keep only your storm door locked during trick-or-treating, but it's not safe, Baltimore County police say. That's because main doors—but not storm or screen doors doors—hinder thieves and robbers who might take advantage of well-meaning, treat-offering neighbors, according to a news release on Halloween safety. Halloween and trick-or-treating can be dangerous in other ways. For example, flames in carved pumpkins and outdoor lighting could ignite some costumes, according to a news release from the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office. Read labels before you buy costumes, wigs and decorations to be sure that they are flame resistant or flame retardant, the release states. And keep visitors …

A photo gallery of the artwork of Cat and Rich Holt of Claymonster.
Check out these photos from the basement studio of the local couple who head up Claymonster Pottery. Check out a story on Parkville-Overlea Patch about Claymonster Pottery.
Cat and Rich Holt build monsters in the basement of their East Rosemont home.
In a basement not far from Belair Road, a local couple is creating monsters. It's not a scary story, though — Cat and Rich Holt don't stitch together zombies or reanimate bodies with electricity like Dr. Frankenstein. Instead, this couple's process starts with a potter's wheel. Like this story? Check out a photo gallery of Claymonster pieces and be sure to "like" Parkville-Overlea Patch on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
