Vintage Halloween show - Burbank Historical Society
A review from their newsletter:
"GHOST & GOBLINS
What a fantastic program for Halloween. We had over 100 people in attendance along with ghouls and ghosts as you can see from the photos. The Cunningham Room was transformed into the Ghoul Time theatre where you were entertained by vintage silent horror films along with the original music of the time. Our own Mari Pattito, Craig Bullock, and Carey Briggs decorated to the hilt. We had so many requests for Galen to return next year, we might just have to ask him back. Please enjoy the photos."
