Dear Kimberly:

        Our Halloween tradition has been very popular, and it is very
simple.  We have a highly skilled actor do a reading of Edgar Allan Poe
short stories and poems.  All he needs is a stool, a single candle and a
dimly lit room.  No other props.  I think he is dressed in a black
T-shirt and black jeans.  He does a great job!  Reading ghost stories,
getting a storyteller, having members of the audience relate their
scariest story or nightmare?  Maybe you could think of your available
resources along these lines.

good luck.
