“We couldn’t believe the overwhelmingly positive response for this event. The team did an amazing job pulling this off and I couldn’t be more excited to see it again,” house manager Jared Robinson said in a press release. "'An Evening of Poe Works' is a family-friendly event, but parents should be reminded that Poe’s work is a little spooky for young children,” Robinson said.
