Tales of ghosts, goblins and things that go bump in the night will fill the air this weekend at America’s Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College.
A voice-over artist and storyteller will spin scary tales during special Halloween shows Saturday and Sunday.
Ann Stoeker, head coordinator of the Simi Valley Library Story Time program, will treat zoo visitors with frightening stories at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Saturday, including a Halloween favorite, “The Ghost-Eye Tree.”
Voice-over artist Steve Blum from the television program “Xena: Warrior Princess” will entertain zoo visitors at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
