The Grimoire Academy creates the fantasy of a fictional university of Halloween that celebrates the spookiest holiday every day of the year, and then turns into a dark market. <\/p>\n<p>The decor and goods are inspired by cult hits like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and classic horror iconography. The Goth and Halloween Horror Exhibition is themed after some of the most prominent folklore in counterculture, including witches, vampires, classic monsters, tall tales, the supernatural and all things creepy. <\/p>\n<p>The market is a one-stop shop for horror enthusiasts to network and showcase their nightmarish wares. The Gothic Market encourages attendees to dress up in their finest goth or formal outfits to enjoy a weekend of haunting fun.<\/p>\n<p>Noon Saturday-Sunday, May 2-3, Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W.
