WHY IS FRIGHT NIGHT NOT BEING DONE IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR.IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE ATTENDED NWA WILDSIDE AND NWA ANARCHY IT HAS ALLWAYS BEEN DONE IN OCTOBER.THIS DOESNT MAKE MUCH SINCE TO ME.JUST WANDERING.

Just how it worked out Yancy.

Christmas Chaos was in Jan one year for Wildside too

Heck I've been seeing Halloween stuff in the stores and on display since August!

[Steffy]

I understand that thats just how the weekends fell, so I have no problem with the show being in September, but why not change the name?? It just doesnt seem right to call it "fright night" when its not even around halloween! its more than a month before!!


the stores might start selling stuff around august, but thats so you have it ready and you know what youre going to do with it when it comes time to put it out there. if you buy it in august and put it out in september, you're going to look like a fool.

And plus you gotta think how hard it is to rent those arenas. This may have been the only time they had the chance. Althought after Hostile Enviroment. Im pumped whenever it is.

[Steffy]

Fright night is at the arena. as in the Anarchy arena. as in they didnt have to rent it cause they own it.

[YANCY]

THANKS FOR BACKING ME ON THIS STEFFY.I WAS SURE THERE ARE WEEKENDS IN OCTOBER AS WELL.WHY COULD'NT IT HAVE BEEN ON SATURDAY OCTOBER THE 27TH.LIKE 4 DAYS BEFORE HALLOWEEN.THEN THE FRIGHT NIGHT NAME WOULD BE FITTING FOR THE OCCASION.I LOVE THIS MESSAGE BOARD.

With Fright Night being earlier, it gives more time to set up storylines for Seasons Beatings.

[steffy]

but hurries those already in the works.


like i said, the stores might start selling stuff around august, but thats so you have it ready and you know what youre going to do with it when it comes time to put it out there. if you buy it in august and put it out in september, you're going to look like a fool.

[Mr Kayfabe]

So I'm guessing what you (Steffy & YANCY) are saying is that since it's in September you won't be attending?

Perhaps we at Anarchy are taking a "world view" of Halloween as we "celebrate" FRIGHT NIGHT 2007 on 9-29-07 at the NWA ARENA. Heck in Japan they celebrate it in the summer. What are they thinking?


Americans are not the only ones who take delight in a little ghostly fun. Here's how countries around the world celebrate their own unique versions of Halloween:

Latin America: El Día de los Muertos, or The Days of the Dead, is a time when people honor the dead by adorning family graves and homes with toys, flowers, candy and statues (skeletal figures are the most traditional decorations). It is a time of great feasting and celebration.

Japan: The Bon Festival takes place during the middle of summer over a 3-day period, and is celebrated to remember and honor the spirits of ancestors. Special foods are prepared for the dead and people travel back to their homes for a time of family togetherness and reflection.

Germany: In some areas of Germany, Walpurgisnacht is recognized as the eve of St. Walpurgis Day, a day when witches, spirits and demons freely roam the earth. It is a day in honor of Walpurga, a medieval nun who is said to be the protector against all magic. It is a day for drinking, dancing and celebrating and that encourages living life to its fullest.

Ireland: Halloween, known as "the Irish Christmas," is a traditional family holiday in which children may go door-to-door and recite several verses of a rhyme in hopes of persuading the adults to give them treats, which are usually nuts, apples or money.

"Rhyming" often begins days or weeks before the actual day of Halloween. The Irish once believed that if a young girl sliced an apple and then ate it by candlelight in front of a mirror on the night of Samhain, the image of her future husband would appear over her shoulder.

and


Japan
The Japanese celebrate a holiday similar to Halloween called Bon Festival which takes place July 13th to the 16th. The festival comes from Buddhist tradition. It is the their belief that your ancestors' spirits come back to their home during the Bon Festival. Families offer special foods to the spirits of their ancestors at their family altars. Japanese folk dancing is preformed to welcome their ancestor's spirits and paper lanterns are lit during the ending of the festival and placed in the rivers to send the spirits back on their way.


Korea
The Koreans celebrate a holiday similar to Thanksgiving and Halloween called Chusok. It starts on the night before the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and ends on the day after the 15th. The holiday is celebrated by families getting together and eating. In the evening they get dressed up visit the tombs of their ancestors. They thank their ancestors for the hard work they did and leave offerings of rice and fruits. They dance, play games, and sing songs.


Mexico
In Mexico they celebrate El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) starting on the evening of October 31st and lasting until November 2nd. The holiday is celebrated to honor friends and family members who have past on. According to belief, their spirits return to the realm of the living at this time. Many families construct shrines in their homes and decorate it with the foods and drink that the past relatives enjoyed while alive. They also leave photographs and candles so the spirits may find their way to the shrines. The burial places of these relatives are also cleaned fresh flowers are placed beside them. The festivities during this time are grandiose including parades, parties, and lavish costumes depicting the dead.

At the NWA ARENA on 9-29-07 NWA ANARCHY presents FRIGHT NIGHT.
