Long time no see, but we're back (sort of).

As Professor Farnsworth says: GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!!!!!

We are THRILLED (and a bit verklempt) that our movie GHOST LIGHT will feature legendary 80s Scream Queen LINNEA QUIGLEY (Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, and many other genre classics). 🤩🤩🤩

Some of you may remember seeing the stage version of GHOST LIGHT several years back. We've now expanded the story for the big scream, I mean screen, and start shooting this Friday 🎥

In the meantime, please like our new GHOST LIGHT page!

One last review of THE CALL OF CTHULHU, from John Skipp over at Fangoria:

"If you love Cthulhu, and the mythos sprawling from it, you will NEVER have a more purely Lovecraftian live experience than watching the amazing Frank Blocker own Lovecraft’s words on visionary director Dan Spurgeon’s stage, delivering 72 riveting minutes of non-stop spiraling monologues from a dozen shifting characters – each of whom he conjures whole – amidst a staggering range of nightmare soundscapes and immaculately puppeteered visuals, cunningly calculated to suck you in and slaughter you."
