HALLOWEEN: A Haunted History


Kick off the Halloween season with Kevin Woyce!

Have you ever wondered why at Halloween we carve pumpkins, dress up
in costumes, or decorate our homes with skeletons and ghosts?

This colorful new program traces the strange history of Halloween, from
Old World harvest festivals to our modern family holiday. Along the way,
Kevin will discuss the origins of the Jack-o'lantern, Orson Welles' 1938 "War of
the Worlds" radio broadcast, the first monster movies, haunted
lighthouses and hotels, and much more. The hour-long slideshow is
illustrated with original photographs and antique Halloween cards,
advertisements, artwork, and movie posters.

Adult program. Registration required.
