falls and spirits rise there will be a DJ playing suitably
spectral tunes followed by the now-traditional open-air
screening of a classic Halloween film arranged by Shortwave

include spine chilling storytelling at 2pm about ghosts past
and present at Woolfson & Tay, a psychic to foretell your
future, and gruesome face painting.
