Audience Age
ages 6 to adult
Spooky, very funny ghost stories, songs (guitar accomp.) and jokes from the crypt give listeners the shivers and jittery laughs they crave at Halloween--or any time. Kids LOVE ghost stories! Mary Jo brings a delightful eerieness heightened by laugh-out-loud jokes. Includes classics as well as lesser known great ghost stories, including a rude and nasty pumpkin named Feegbah; the lost gold of a haunting Hungarian squire; timeless tales of trick-or-treaters who stayed out just a little too late, even a hilarious stubborn skeleton dancing to the fiddle (with live fiddle playing!). Never in bad taste, but scary enough for the big kids without freaking out the younger. Scream along, yuk it up for the quintessential ghost story experience. Don't forget to order the c.d.! There's a younger version for little boo-boos, called "Pumpkin Fun, which celebrates fall and pumpkins and only the very friendliest of friends."
