The announcement didn't have its own thread, so now it does!

Great news about David Henesy.  Both "David" and "Sarah" participating in the same event, cool.  Thanks so much, PennyDreadful.  Have a frightful Halloween!

Happy Birthday, Teresa!   

Wow, Steve, I'm intrigued by your mention of details about the Tarot spreads.  Thanks!

I looked at some of Howard Chaykin's The Shadow comics from the 80s and do see a strong resemblance to Ben Cross.  How bizarrely flattering.

From his personal Facebook page:

Dear Fans of Ben Cross. This is his daughter, Lauren. I am utterly heartbroken to share with you that my darling father died a few hours ago. He had been sick for a while but there was a rapid decline over the past week. The press will be announcing his death soon, I just wanted you all—his most loyal and loving fans—to hear it from us first. Thank you for all your support over the years. He really enjoyed interacting with you. 💔
