Rated G · Family-friendly fun

As the spooky music fades, into the eerie glow of a novelty-store party light steps one dark-suited man… a man who would be chain-smoking if the room weren’t smoke-free. Carrying an improbable collection of children’s stories is the host of this evening’s murder mystery — the strange creator of a spooky anthology series, Odd Sterling.
