Axis of evil

Five cemeteries are said to form a pentagram around Ohio University, so when discussions of haunted places start each Halloween, most label Athens the center of Ohio's ghoulish geography.

However, Columbus will give Athens a run for its money when Insane Clown Posse, GWAR and the Cult of the Psychic Fetus, three of the country's most sinister bands, each performing this weekend. Here's what to expect.
