Image description: Illustrations of Matt Dibrindisi, a young white man with dark hair, a mustache and a beard wearing a tuxedo and brandishing a flashlight,
and Pepperoni, a white cartoon wizard wearing a purple conical hat and robe. They are against the backdrop of a stormy sky and spooky mansion below a yellow full moon and flanked by dark, spooky trees.
Clutching the mansion from behind with both hands is an illustration of Mortelli, a ghost of a white magician with dark hair, a mustache and a beard, wearing a black suit and top hat with a red hatband.
He smiles at the camera menacingly. Below the three of them is the logo for Dark of Fright Halloween Party 3 and the logos for Matt Dibrindisi Entertainment and Northampton Center For the Arts at 33 Hawley.
The story unfolds...
On a dark and stormy October night, our hosts Matt Dibrindisi and Pepperoni the Great are drawn to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town...
making it the perfect setting for a shriektacular spellabration, only...
it's still haunted by its former owner, the late Marvelous Dante Mortelli, expert magician and knife-thrower, who watches over his massive manor from his framed portrait in the Main Hall.
Did he lure our hosts here... and for what purposes? What could he possibly want?
