Get ready for a fully improvised horror show where monsters of the silver screen come to life! What monster? You decide! What happens and who dies? Not even our performers know! In this narrative improv show, you get to choose what monster terrorizes our characters. Then performers will create characters and spin a tale so bloodcurdling your nightmares will have nightmares! But come prepared to shield your eyes as those beloved characters die gruesome deaths! A fully improvised show means anything can happen, so don’t be surprised if you fall in love with the monster instead of the hero! It might steal your heart — and all your blood along with it!
