THURSDAY November 1st at 7pm: THE UPPER BERTH

THE UPPER BERTH

"something ghostly moved in my grip"

“I remember that the sensation as I put my hands forward was as though I were plunging them into the air of a damp cellar, and from behind the curtains came a gust of wind that smelled horribly of stagnant sea-water. I laid hold of something that had the shape of a man’s arm, but was smooth, and wet, and icy cold.”

THURSDAY October 25th at 7pm: HALLOWEEN RITUALS

"Ghosties and ghoulies on the prowl "

HALLOWE'EN RITUALS

Ghosties and ghoulies on the prowl on All Hallows Eve, ready to steal away the innocent, and punish the guilty. Old scores settled in the dead of night, by demons and lost souls who have slipped through the divide between our world and the mystical.

Books are magical things when you let your imagination run riot, as you take in the sights and sounds, and even the smells of a story. The Halloween season is one of the greatest times of all to make use of all of those senses, and ingest everything a story can bring you.

You don’t need Hollywood’s multi-million-dollar blockbusters to scare you at Halloween. All you need is a well-written story, a storytellers magical voice, and an imagination to go with it, and all your fears will come true

Tonight's stories take place on THE night itself...

RITUAL
Bored one Halloween night, two couples follow a map from an old book of ghost stories to an abandoned nineteenth century church. To their horror, the book left out a few key details.

PUMPKIN REX
The King was dimly aware that he’d once had another name, but that no longer mattered. He’d arrived at last, to rule over his realm with his witch-queen at his side. Starting from tonight, time would be obsolete and useless; it would always be “Midnight on Halloween”, and the world would always belong to the October creatures.

"Carve your pumpkins and turn on the porch light"

DOORBELLS AT DUSK
Halloween Tales

Halloween frights begin with the sound of… Doorbells at Dusk.

Dusk is when trick or treating begins, join us tonight and enter the world of Halloween chills that is "Doorbells at Dusk", watch out for those trick or treaters.....they could just be harmless, innocent children, out for a night of fun and candy, or they could be monsters, intent on possessing you, attacking you, or invading your home, never to leave! As we stroll further along, and notice the neat, lifelike Halloween decorations in the yard of the most enthusiastic Halloween lover, do those decorations look a bit too.....lifelike....or, is the late hour just playing tricks on your mind? Does that wicked carved jack o lantern seem to be speaking to you, putting murderously evil thoughts in your mind, or are you just getting a little TOO much into the spirit of the season? Does that scarecrow on the next porch appear a bit too lifelike, or have you watched one too many horror movies? And what's the matter with that huge mansion at the end of the street, the one with no Halloween decorations whatsoever, that, as a matter of fact, appears completely deserted? Dare you ring the doorbell, or should you be satisfied with your bounty of Halloween goodies? If you want the answers to these, as well as many more, disturbing questions.. Join us at The Seanchai Library!

Tonight's stories take place on THE night itself...

THURSDAY October 11th at 7pm: STAIRWAYS - The Strange Stairs at the Aldebourne Estate

"You mustn’t talk about the stairs"

STAIRWAYS
The Strange Stairs at the Aldebourne Estate

There they stand, surrounded by nothing but forest, pristine as the day they were built. No sign remains of any other structure around them, no ruins of long forgotten buildings. They look… wrong. They feel wrong. Bad things happen if you get too close. Horrible things. Never tell anyone about the stairs!

"Evil eyes gleamed into hers"

X-FILES: It's All In The Eyes

Skeletons hung from the rafters... along with images of classic movie monsters. Ghosts, witches, vampires, creepy looking corpses, clowns, dolls, and other decorations as Hannah Barton entered the giant deserted warehouse store. Scary things to make up a cool Halloween atmosphere for a party or a haunted house. And all looking at her with those evil eyes. Suddenly it seemed as if they had all taken a step forward.
It was late.
Everyone else was gone...
