Boo! Thirteen Scenes From Halloween
Boo! Thirteen Scenes From Halloween
Comedy/Drama/Review. By Pat Cook.

Cast: 5 to 38 m. or w. With a full moon and a grinning jack-o'-lantern beaming from every window, it's a hard heart that doesn't get a little spooked at Halloween. Celebrate the holiday with this witch's brew of playlets, each designed to make your skin crawl and tickle your funny bone. This eerie review of 12 skits and a one-act, all with a sinister twist, is just the thing for a few scary chuckles. Thirteen stories in all, they can play for a full evening's entertainment or just add to any variety show. Full of a wicked assortment of trick-or-treaters, grave diggers, witches and goblins, each story is a haunt all itself. Find out about The Curse of the Ugly Dolls, The Grave Situation, A Very Dirty Trick, and A Very Sweet Treat. See how to pick out The Perfect Mask and why Two Heads are Better Than One. This ghostly brew is easily produced with a flexible cast. Varied simple sets.

Notes
Author's Note: BOO! is a group of sketches with a decidedly sinister tone. They deal with both the misunderstood of the daylight and the fearsome of the night. Each calls for skeletal (what else?) sets and a minumum of costume changes, sometimes no more than a change of mask. An emcee may be added to introduce each story. He or she may even be something of a "character," along the lines of Boris Karloff or Rod Serling or Elvira.

This Halloween review can be produced utilizing two areas of a stge, alternating main stage with the apron or stage left with stage right, indicating beginning and ends of the vignettes with light cues. The final story in Act Two, Her Last Possession, requires more of a legitimate set, which is drawn out at the beginning of the act. The rest of these stories vay in length, some short plays, some only blackouts, and each with a decided twist at the end. —Pat Cook
