Guests who come to Clermont will take a special tour of the mansion, which is decorated as it was for Halloween in 1921. Something goes wrong and the house is filled with ghosts from the Livingston family’s past. Separated lovers, servants, pirates, and more will all be uncovered in this lively evening. Some ghosts are scary and some are funny, but all of them are true stories!

Opening Tomorrow at the Crandell Theater in Chatham: Battle of the Sexes
In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women’s movement, the 1973 tennismatch between women’s World #1 Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-men’s-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed as the BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. The fiercely private King was not only championing for equality, but also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, as her friendship with Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough) developed. And Riggs, one of the first self-made media-age celebrities, wrestled with his gambling demons, at the expense of his family and wife Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue). Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis court, sparking discussions in bedrooms and boardrooms that continue to reverberate today.
