Welcome to Hollywood!

It is award night and Tom Speed’s latest film, The Vampire Detective, has just swept the board and won four “Skellies” for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Sadly, Tom Speed’s award for Best Actor was accepted posthumously by his friend, Hayden Vicars, as Tom was killed in a driving accident late last night…

Despite this note of sadness, celebrations are in full swing at The Vampire Detective’s post-award party. Deals are being cut for future productions and everyone is having a good time enjoying the atmosphere and mingling with Hollywood’s movers and shakers.

Is there anything suspicious about Tom Speed’s death? Who will win next year’s

Skellies? Find out at Halloween Lies.

In Halloween Lies, not everyone is as they seem – some have dark secrets they need to keep hidden . . . and someone is the murderer.

All those invited to Halloween Lies are given a character. As they arrive they are

greeted by the Master/Mistress of Ceremonies (MC), and welcomed to the party. Each character has goals and objectives that they must complete before the end of the evening. The characters have various skills and abilities that will help them uncover secrets and achieve their goals.
