Boston, MA – The PBS|NPR Forum Network has recently added a new series of curated talks around Halloween and Historical Events. The Talking Heads series is home to some of the Forum Network’s best public talks, lectures and stories about ghosts, witches, villains, scandal and mayhem.
Join Actresses Dee Wallace, Kristina Klebe, Danielle Harris, Scout Taylor, and Eileen Deitz discussing the filming process of Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies and why they won’t scream on command.

Hear Director and Horror Novel Writer Guillermo del Toro discuss The Fall, the 2nd installment I the Strain Trilogy, a series about vampires taking over New York City.
Other notable discussions within the series cover historic events around the Salem Witch Trials, The Boston Strangler, the murder trial of Lizzie Borden, and what mummies tell us.

The story of a young girl who is left to trick-or-treat on her own. A small detour takes her on a strange and imaginative adventure with a new companion.
Words of Caution: Never permit your children to go trick or treating alone.
Children should be accompanied by an adult when going door to door. Children of all ages should only accept treats at the doorway and never go inside!
