Greetings, my blood brothers and sanguinary sisters! It&rsquo;s that time of year again, when the night air turns crisp and cool, the shadows contain mysteries dark and deep, and tricks and treats trade beats with greets on the streets.... It&rsquo;s time for SCARE-A-THON 2026. This year, for reasons that might seem obvious, I have selected&nbsp;<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.impactchicago.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">IMPACT Chicago</a>, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending sexual violence and harassment through empowerment-based self-defense training for women, girls, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities, providing them with the tools they need to prevent, minimize, and stop violence.&nbsp; Your donation allows IMPACT to make these programs accessible to people of all economic backgrounds. Please help end violence and build a less scary world, one horror fan at a time.

Thanks to generous, like-minded souls, we have raised over $60K for over a dozen groups. Even a donation of $5 makes a HUGE difference, so if you can, please chip in. Every little bit helps.
