Once upon a midnight dreary, shunning music that was cheery, And pondering over many a quaint and curious tale of yore. The Davenport's toes set to tapping while their mouths were loudly yapping, Suddenly there came a rapping, rapping from the airship door, "What in the hecks is that?!" they wondered, staring at the airship door. And then the sound, it came once more. That sound was the Davenport sister's holiday spooktacular! Join Emmett and Klaude as they revel in the history, myth and music of Halloween.
