I've finished updating these scenario pages:

Halloween Horror 2

• Of_Angels_and_Bones (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• The_Devil's_Agents (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• Haunted_Molesbury (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• Way_Down._In_Ioway. (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• The_Smokestack_Horror (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• Halloween_Candy (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• Enter_the_Gaijin (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• A_Ring_of_Toadstools (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)

Halloween Horror (2005)

• Eyes_That_Should_Not_See (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• Halloween_in_Dunwich (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• Terror_at_Erne_Rock (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)

I plan to blog some reviews for these, and add links for the reviews, but they could probably use some additional review links (YSDC has some great reviewers, I just haven't been able to concentrate on tracking their reviews down!)

It looks like many of the scenarios have "red links" for monsters, tomes, locations, cults, and organizations, some of which are unique to those scenarios (or their authors' other works). I may try to fill some of those red links, but feel free to add them yourself if you get to them first.

Additionally, I've done the following things that were originally outside my "Halloween Scenario" scope:

• Lemon_Sails (I've finished this, it's free for further revision and review!)
• new category for scenarios set in schools (location-based scenarios)
• new category scenarios set in Japan (places)
• I contacted the author of one of the scenarios to see about including "lost" background information on the Village of Sogailraugh; it should be OK to include a link to the website that is hosting the supplemental information, and provide a map key.
• Created redirects for "Orne Library" and "Orne library" (they point to Miskatonic University (Location)).
• Added, organized, and cited Miskatonic University staff and books in the Orne Library, making heavy changes to Miskatonic University (Location).
• Created categories for Sthood (a Dreamlands deity).
• Added illustrations for the Miskatonic University Library, Corbitt House ("The Haunting"), and lighthouse for "Terror at Erne Rock", plus additional illustrations and alternate floor plans for buildings that have appeared in the first couple Halloween Monographs (I "built" the houses in 3D using The Sims 3, and posed them for screenshots).
• Created a page about Halloween, mainly to answer the question of why cultists would choose to perform spells and rituals on Halloween (which has quickly become a good question, considering the number of Halloween scenarios I've seen so far in documenting the Halloween Monographs!)

Personal Thoughts

• Wow, "Halloween at St. Odilio's" was long and complicated to document! The author of that 26-page scenario packed it full of "Shout Outs" to other works which sent me running to research and cross-reference them as much as possible; the result should be a huge number of "red links" in the scenario.
• So far, it looks like scenarios by Oscar Rios tend to be among my favorite scenarios, and are normally among the most complete, better-researched, better-detailed, and better-thought-out scenarios in the Halloween monographs. Interestingly, Rios' name is also on one of my less favorite scenarios as a co-author - I guess they can't all be hits.
