Horrors! (Prairie Home Companion) [Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Garrison Keillor (Author, Performer)

Book Description

Series: Prairie Home Companion | Publication Date: July 15, 1996

Fear and loathing in Lake Wobegon? You betcha.

Garrison Keillor's Horrors! is a grab bag of treats from Halloween broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion. Horrors! features eclectic musical performances, commercials for loyal Prairie Home "sponsors" like Guy's Shoes, and lighthearted comedy from A Prairie Home Companion's cast of regulars.

Halloween is a time when everyone's a kid again—perhaps that's why it's so eagerly celebrated by adults. Listen to Horrors! and you'll smile, you'll shiver, and you might even take a peek to see what's lurking in the shadows.

Another great addition to the PHC collection. A collection of bits and skits from various halloween shows and a few that have nothing to do with halloween but they do have the feeling of the season. If you're not a PHC fan but are looking for another halloween cd to add to your collection this may not be the right cd for you. But, if you are a fan, then you will enjoy this collection that could have easily been a part of the PHC 'FALL' cd from the 'SEASONS' collection.

Not all the skits are gems, but for the most part it's a good Halloween treat.
