Which Side Will You Choose? Dark or Light? Gaia Online's Halloween 09 is Here
In just a few days, millions of teens will be stepping into their costumes, taking to the streets and loading up on candy for the most anticipated holiday of the year – Halloween, of course!
Gaia Online, the world's most active online community of more than eight million teens and young adults, is once again starting the ghoulish antics early at its weeklong virtual Halloween event – Demonbusters.
From October 28 until November 6, teens can clash with their opponents in eerie demon battles in the never-ending conflict between good and evil. In addition to demon-busting, users can stock up on spooky Halloween gear, win angel and demon inspired virtual goods, socialize with fellow Gaians and recruit friends through Facebook CONNECT.
