We also had Gidget Lother do some effects with these black lights on some faces she made and used fluorescent paint. We also had a great Ghost Jeff Armstrong, but most of our assembly was based on our stage crew, which were Paul Casemore, Jim Scott, Fred Meurs, Wilma and Patsy , on our sound effects.
