The characters are, right now already haunted by some creepy mist, every once in a while, which seems to be of an unnatural cause (especially since everytime it appears, hordes of undead rise from it).
I actually plan on submerging them fully into Ravenloft for a while.
Now here's the question:
what do you think, I should do, to make them believe, they are still in Krynn, although some weird things are going on there?
Have them find a small camp of slaughtered elves and make them think they're in one of the many big forests on Krynn.
Sithicus has alot of potential for Krynnish characters to still think they are on Krynn since, well, Soth was from Krynn and all of the inhabitants live in a realm that appears for the most part, Krynnlike.

-- ooo Krynn was used 5 times in that lil bit lol --
And wait until they run into a Kender Vampire! Oh the horror!
For putting some creepiness into the sessions I recommend using a "bait and switch" technique for the first timers to RL. Don't spell out that they're in RL by word, deed or ommission. Let things seem more or less normal at first.
Consider the movie the 6th Sense. Through the movie we think the hero's marriage is unravelling and his wife is cold toward him. Only at the end we realizes the hero is already dead, she can't see him, and what we've thought we've seen and interpreted is false.
By the same token you could have the villagers who appeal to the heroes for help be already dead, or true villian appears to be an ally to the PCs. An old saw that works wonderfully well is to have the PCs over for a banquet while NPC X lays out the problem he or she is having. Later PCs get a chance to see whats kept in the larder...PCs the scene will be all the more horrific or creepy because its assumed that the PCs ate the same food as their now revealed to be evil host.
