HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS: TALES OF THE CRYPT!

Posted Saturday, October 4, 2014, at 2:40 AM

The 2014 Tales of the Crypt will take place on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

It's the 20th Annual "Tales of the Crypt!"

WHERE: The yearly event will again be held at Mount Holly Cemetery, which is at 1200 South Broadway in Little Rock.

WHEN: Tuesday, October 14, 2014, from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

ADMISSION: Free. But donations are always appreciated.

PRESS RELEASE: Held the second Tuesday of October, Tales of the Crypt is an annual Mount Holly Event. Under the direction of Fred Boosey & Tamara Zinck, drama students from Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School are each given a person buried in the cemetery to research.

They then prepare short monologues or dialogues, complete with period costumes, to be performed in front of the researched person's grave. Award-winning local costumer Debi Manire will once again provide the wonderful historical characters' costumes. Audiences are led through the cemetery from grave to grave by guides with candles.

Although it takes place around the same time as the American holiday Halloween, the event is meant to be historic rather than spooky. Many local teachers award extra credit to students who attend.
