Halloween Puppet Show

Today's Puppet Show was great. My Mother and I had planned days ahead to work out each section of the Halloween Show. It felt to be the most organized and focused show yet.

We had the Witch introduce different Halloween acts and with a slight delay on my mother's voice, she was the perfect Witch.

The Set of Songs and Characters are as follows:
1) Oriental Japanese Puppet ("Haunted Mansion Japan")
2) The Ghost Puppet ("Grim Grinning Ghosts")
3) Three Different Skeleton Songs
4) "The Five Pumpkins" (Raffi)
5) Dance to 1930's Scary Orchestral Music
6) "The Monster Mash" ("Suspended Snake")
7) "Ghostbusters" Ending

Afterwards we let kids try other monster puppets and we had gotten a kick out of seeing them Improv to "This Is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993).
