A Christmas Haunting at the Chamber of Horrors NY
Chamber of horror NY is having a Christmas haunting that will have you praying they never close. This year, if you love the macabre and all things that go bump in the night, take some time off from your normal life and bring your love of all things horror. Trying to make it through the maze of horror in less than 30 minutes is quite the task. We at Vocal got to spend Halloween behind and in front of the curtain, seeing how much work and skill go into every scare. With 17 years of fright under their collective belts, Marty Arominski and Matt Guiliano invite you to three different tales of horror.

We got to ask Harold six questions, here is his take on cosplay.Roc Rockerson: What started you in cosplay?Harold Gibson: A long time friend took me to a few conventions. Comic conventions, horror, and collector cons. You name it, and everyone I went to, I saw lots of people walking around wearing amazing costumes. One day at New York Comic Con, I saw a guy dressed as Green Arrow and his lady was dressed as Black Canary. They looked like they practically stepped right out of the comics! I said to myself… “I wanna do that!!” so I put some things together (mind you I don't sew) and made my first cosplay, my little version of Nick Fury for East Coast Comic Con in 2015. It got a lot of attention so, I was like, let’s see what else I can do, and the rest is history.
