Halloween: A Haunted History - Presented by Kevin Woyce, Author, Photographer, and Lecturer - Have you ever wondered why at Halloween we carve pumpkins, dress up in costumes, or decorate our homes with skeletons and ghosts? Learn about the history of Halloween, from Old World harvest festivals to our modern family holiday. Along the way, 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 will be discussed. The hour-long slideshow is illustrated with original photographs and antique Halloween cards, advertisements, artwork, and movie posters. Register in advance for this Zoom Program: https://forms.gle/ZsBicpKnSEcXhokH9
