Orientación para padres
Mostly rated G. I like things to stay school appropriate at all times. However, scary is scary and those who are easily unsettled by ghosts, ghouls, and things that go bump in the night obviously may have issues. Things one might see in slasher films will not be included. This is a ghost and goblins sort of class.
