One year ago today, we boarded the Halcyon Starcruiser for the last time. My heart still sinks when I remember it's no longer welcoming guests to wade in the waters of play at depths no one else has dared to offer. There are many myths to be busted, but that's for another day.

Riddle me this, Riddle me that. Who paid for this sky ad to release the big, black bat?

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is such a cavalcade of deliciously bizarre ideas, it knocks me out every time.

In honor of Dame Maggie, here is "Childhood", the song written for Granny Wendy when HOOK was to be a musical. The on-set playback was recorded by her friend Julie Andrews, but that version has never been released. (This demo was sung by Bobbi Page.)

Farewell, Miss Lincoln.

The new Skeleton Crew trailer appears to contain Hondo's ship, the Katooni, from Smugglers Run in Galaxy's Edge.

Goreing 20s at Knotts Scary Farm may be a "scare zone", but it also ranks among my favorite immersive productions. A joyous, playful romp, with a story expanded in its adjacent maze. I can't wait to guzzle the devil's elixir once again next season. Bravo to all involved.
