"They soared over hills and meadows and farms. They saw themselves reflected in dusky moon-bright streams, creeks, rivers. They brushed down over ancient trees. The wind stirred by their passing shook down whole government mints of coins, leaves, bright showering to the black-grassed earth. They flew over the town and thought—

"O look up! see! here we are! your sons!

"And thought: O look down, there somewhere are our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, teachers! Hey, here we are! O, someone, see us! or you’ll never believe!"

Ray Bradbury's transformative tale of youth, life, death, and Halloween continues, in the Story Tour format with presenters David Abbot and Caledonia Skytower guiding guests through the story while visiting the elements of the story and Bradbury's work that inspired the region.

THURSDAY October 17th at 9pm: INCIDENT ON SADDLE ROAD

 

“We’ve entered the creepy stretch of Saddle Road.”
INCIDENT ON SADDLE ROAD
Alien Terror by Brian Moreland

Up the road, a thick fog bank rolled across the valley. Before Jeff could switch on the headlights, mist swallowed his Subaru Outback. The morning sunshine vanished. The landscape within the haze turned gray, as if the fog had sucked the color out of the world. Surrounding ‘ÅŒhi’a trees and volcanic terrain dotted with scrub were half-hidden by drifting wisps of vapor.

"It was a small town by a small river and a small lake in a small northern part of a Midwest state. There wasn’t so much wilderness around you couldn’t see the town. But on the other hand there wasn’t so much town you couldn’t see and feel and touch and smell the wilderness. The town was full of trees. And dry grass and dead flowers now that autumn was here. And full of fences to walk on and sidewalks to skate on and a large ravine to tumble in and yell across. And the town was full of . . . Boys.

 "And it was the afternoon of Halloween."

Ray Bradbury's transformative tale of youth, life, death, and Halloween begins, in the Story Tour format with presenters David Abbot and Caledonia Skytower guiding guests through the story while visiting the elements of the story and Bradbury's work that inspired the region.

“It’s bigger because it ate Rachel!”

"Chime folk are rare, but she's a Belfast Girl"
A STRANGE UNCERTAIN LIGHT
A Gothic Folklore Tale by G.V. Anderson
- followed at 9pm by THE RAFT -

Based on the concept of ‘chime children’ from British folklore, this Gothic horror takes place on an aging country estate with shades of Rebecca. Two women’s lives, a century apart, intertwine on these Yorkshire moors. One is Anne, who elopes with a man she barely knows in 1938, and the other is Mary, who’s looking for her lost childhood friend in the 1830s. 

Respectable people, in her experience, recoiled from lunacy.
