The gruesome gathering point was the Oak Point Park amphiteatre were jailbait, minions and pirates mixed with the demons of the night and enjoyed pre-run festivities.

But as bewitching hour approached… the fiendish fun kicked off with the 1-Mile Fun Run and Costume Parade, while the 5K race started after dark- just in time to awaken the dead!

Along the picturesque paved trails of the Oak Point Park nature reserve runners encountered zombies, pumpkin fiends and even a graveyard haunted by the Plano Dance Theatre whose gruesome dance moves were among one of the horrifying highlights of the evening.
