Halloween is quickly approaching and alongside stuff like trick-or-treating, costume parties, hounted houses, pumpkin picking and anonymous inhebriation, there will also be skateboarding. Though not exactly on Halloween day, NYC's Run My Game Productions and Open Road Of New York will be hosting, The Halloween Hellraiser Skateboard Showdown. Held on November 1st, from 12-6, on the Open Road Rooftop (New Design High School), located between Ludlow & Grand, they'll be a Best Trick Contest on a bunch of different obstacles. They'll be $3 G's on line plus $100 for whoever's skating in the best costume. Not to mention, tons of free giveaways, food, drink, candy and gorgeous ladies. Hosted by New York notables Billy Rohan and Alex Corporan.

Turn Up The Hell


If you happen to be on the West Coast, be sure to swing by Hensley's Flying Elephant Pub & Grill in Carlsbad, for the premiere of 1031's long awaited feature, Turn Up The Hell. This one will be on Halloween night, of course and get started at 8:15 sharp. They'll be tons of drinks, food, skate celebrity appearances and a live performance by The Heartaches.

Also on Halloween night, Split will be premiering their short film, Demons In The Attic, featuring their entire team. This one will begin at 8pm at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, Ca. You'll need to RSVP here and wear yourself a costume if you want to get in. I'm already scared.
