Yes, the goth-led Tom Petty Vampire Walk is really happening

For a moment there, Mary Soracco worried her “Tom Petty Memorial Vampire Walk” might get shut down due to the growing number of participants.
But it’s officially a go.
More than 200 people and counting plan to commemorate the memory of Petty with the “Free Fallin'” sing-a-long walk from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19, and another 1,000-plus are expressing interest.
