Praise
for Thrillpeddlers:
"If
you thought Sweeney Todd was creepy,
wait until you see the work of Thrillpeddlers."
-- Robert Viagas, PLAYBILL
"Never
mind the Castro -- the best Halloween experience
this year is at the Exit. There, the Thrillpeddlers
celebrate the holiday in gruesome style with three
scintillating adaptations from the Grand Guignol."
-- Joe Mader, SF WEEKLY
"Shocktoberfest!!
has become one of my favorite events of the Halloween
season, which is saying a lot in this October-loving
town."
-- Silke Tudor, SF WEEKLY
"There
are times, we admit, when, weary of the virtuous boredom
of the serious theater, and oppressed by the shrillness
of new voices on the fringe – which, like all
newly born voices, seem capable only of screaming –
we want to see a play that is hilarious without apology,
and appeals to our other, more animal instincts. In
such cases, nothing could be better than the two short
plays in Thrillpeddlers' Shocktoberfest."
-- Amir Shadi, THEATREWORLD
"The most remarkable feat of the production was the
way it was able to move fairly swiftly between laughter-producing
and horror-producing moments in a way that would have
seemed impractical to this reviewer if he had not witnessed
it himself. The humorous moments were all created by the
resonance of the action on stage with the well-known and
well-loved clichés of horror fiction, whereas the
moments of genuine horror were brought about by the penetration
of the audience’s defenses against the unthinkable."
-- John Harvey, SOMA Magazine
