Kevin Woyce explores the strange history of Halloween, from Old World harvest festivals to our modern family holiday. With original photographs and vintage images, he reveals the origins of the Jack O' Lantern, and other seasonal traditions; tells the stories behind the 1938 "War of the Worlds" Radio Broadcast and the first monster movies; and takes audiences on an eerie tour of haunted lighthouses and hotels.
