Here are the events scheduled for Haunted Hollow for the weekend of October 15/16:
Saturday, October 15, 2pm — Caledonia Skytower presents The Magic of The Musical live from Haunted Hollow — “Everything Addams”
In this month’s special Hallowe’en edition of The Magic of the Musical, host Caledonia Skytower and her special guest discuss the many revivals and reboots that have characterised the popular Addams Family since their first appearance in the New Yorker by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1936, including their subsequent transfer to a range of media, such as television, film, video games, comic books, a musical (of course!) and merchandising. Saturday’s Featured Music is… MUSICALS!
Sunday, October 16, 1:30pm — Seanchai Library presents “The Halloween Tree” — Pt 1
Seanchai Library presents Ray Bradbury’s The Hallowe’en Tree in Part I of a three-part live reading.
A group of eight boys set out to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, only to discover that a ninth friend, Pipkin, has been whisked away on a journey that could determine whether he lives or dies. Through the help of a mysterious character named Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud, they pursue their friend across time and space through Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures, Celtic Druidism, Notre Dame Cathedral in Medieval Paris, and The Day of the Dead in Mexico. Along the way, they learn the origins of the holiday that they celebrate, and the role that the fear of death, ghosts, and the haunts has played in shaping civilization. The Halloween Tree itself, with its many branches laden with jack‑o’-lanterns, serves as a metaphor for the historical confluence of these traditions.
