A new Laurie Berkner music video for kids, “Peek-A-Boo Ghost,” is out today!
Even the youngest kids will love the friendly and playful “Peek-A-Boo Ghost” in this Halloween-themed music video. Everyone will have fun spotting the ghost as it pops up and plays a cheerful game of peek-a-boo! There’s nothing scary here — just a silly ghost playing games with giggly kids, creating a fun Halloween experience the whole family can enjoy together.
“When a friend told me that her young daughter had named the pop-up ghost at their local haunted house attraction a ‘peek-a-boo ghost,’ I knew there was a song to be written,” says Laurie Berkner. “I love how this video brings together dressing up for Halloween with the playfulness of peek-a-boo and the comfort of knowing that even when people hide, they will return to us again.”
The “Peek-A-Boo Ghost” song is from Laurie’s new album, A Laurie Berkner Halloween, which treats little tricksters to an assortment of tunes Laurie has written through the years, plus several brand-new releases that celebrate the fun of Halloween and the fall season for young children.
Laurie will soon give the season of costumes, candy, and jack-o’-lanterns another “BOO-st” with a friendly, hour-long Halloween show, A Laurie Berkner Halloween Special, set for release Friday, October 11 on Laurie’s YouTube channel.
“I had so much fun dressing up and making Halloween video magic for my Halloween Special this year,” says Laurie Berkner. “I hope my musical hunt for the right costume in my Magic Costume Room adds to the joy that this wonderfully child-centered holiday already brings to so many kids and families!”
