Small Frights: Spooky and Kooky

Lucé Tomlin-Brenner
About this episode

Today we read a letter from a Lantern who writes a Halloween comedy show for kids with his high school theater troupe. We also hear about a Halloween party that helped another Lantern feel more comfortable in their own skin and get a response to last week's call about a new Trick-or-Treating trend.
