Join Jennie and Dianne for the annual "Beyond the Grave" episode of the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery, just in time to put you in a spooky mood for Halloween! Wrap yourself cozy, dim the lights and let Mary Shelley's haunting masterpiece envelop you as you venture into 'Frankenstein's eerie world. The tale begins with an introduction from Percy and Mary Shelley before transporting you to 19th-century Geneva, Switzerland. Witness Victor Frankenstein's doomed experiment, the creature's awakening and the devastating consequences for the Family Frankenstein and the monster himself.

Mary Shelley's classic novel was adapted and performed by phenomenally talented actors live at Evergreen Cemetery on October 4th & 5th, 2024 in order to help raise funds for the preservation of  Colorado Spring's historic cemeteries and now we bring it to you for your listening pleasure.
