D&D 2E What's a Good 2e Low Level Adventure?

[Retreater]

Hanging out with my neighbor last night it came up in conversation he has a lot of nostalgia for 2E, including THAC0 and all the old school feel. He knows 5e but really wants to do 2E again, and would like me to run a one-shot for him and his teenage kids.
I came in with 2E but didn't run many published adventures. The ones I did were Ravenloft.
Are there any you can think of that have a nostalgic feel for that era? I'm looking to avoid big adventures like Night Below because I'm not intending to run anything long.

I always thought Under Illefarn was pretty good.

Nothing wrong with Ravenloft here.

I particularly liked Night of the Walking Dead (levels 1-3). Also Howls in the Night (levels 3-5).

I recommend checking Dungeon Mag from this era, which had better adventures than anything 2E published as a stand alone.

Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh

It's my favorite module to introduce new people and new characters. Essentially a Scooby Doo adventure with swordplay!

If you like Ravenloft, Night of the Walking Dead is one of the better ones. (Oh, I see it was suggested above - consider this a second).
Or you could go for the old B/X classic Keep on the Borderlands - should be able to use it straight in 2E.

I don't know if I ever ran a published 2E adventure. I owned Terrible Tragedy at Tragidor because it was bundled with a DM screen. The less said about that monstrosity of a scenario the better. I take it back, I ran Night Below for a group and it was pretty enjoyable. It is not exclusively a low level adventure, however. I recommend looking into Dungeon for scenarios there were a few good ones in the 2E years.

A lot of adventure pitched here are 1e and basic (for good reason) , but a decent low level, 2e native adventure for a 1-3 one shot is The Shattered Circle.

I agree; The Shattered Circle is a great low-level adventure.

You can also get quite a bit of bang for your buck with Road to Danger and Dungeons of Despair, both of which were collections of low-level adventures from Dungeon magazine.

I enjoyed Return to the Keep on the Borderlands - one of the 25 years of D&D anniversary adventures. In fact, I'm running it now (albeit converted to 5e).
