Ghost Lab
with GennaRose Nethercott
You spent more than a year confined to your home, floating from room to room, rarely stepping outside. The outside world seemed distant and untouchable. History swept by. But you know who’s been doing this for centuries? Ghosts! Stories about haunted houses have been examining domestic claustrophobia for years—so let’s learn from the pros. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll write spooky tales, dissect how to build the perfect ghost story (beginning with the question, “What IS a ghost?!), and of course, create a few phantoms of our own to keep us company.

Monster Lab
with GennaRose Nethercott
What defines a monster? Dreadful deeds, claws and teeth, supernatural strangeness? Are monsters villains to be vanquished, or simply misunderstood outsiders? Spend your Halloween encountering a few of literature's and folklore’s wildest beasts, as we examine what makes a paranormal creature tick—and then, we'll use those tools to invent new monsters of our own.
