Are you afraid of the dark?

Shocktoberfest!!, Thrillpeddlers’ annual pageant of TERROR and TITILLATION, returns to the EXIT Theatre in October with three world-premiere adaptations of classic plays from the repertoire of the infamous Le Theatre du Grand Guignol, the Parisian horror theatre that shocked audiences for over 60 years.


Opening October 5th and performing every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in October at 8:00 p.m., Shocktoberfest!! 2000 combines blood-curdling horror, depraved sexual antics, a liberal dose of foot worship, and an in-the-audience ‘spook show’ experience that is guaranteed to leave you screaming for more.


SISSIES STAY HOME!

On the program:

BRUSH WITH DEATH
Adapted by Daniel Zilber from L’HOMME DE LA NUIT (1921) by Andre de Lorde.
This bizarre mystery from the father of French horror theatre has it all: A stormy night; a remote cemetery; a disturbed butler; a mysterious detective... and ghastly foul play. When the culprit finally confesses, you won’t believe the motive! Directed by Jonathan Gonzales.

SLUMBER PARTY PANIC
The ‘Barefoot Beauties’ (Thrillpeddlers’ lovely, leggy, foot-fixated playmates) perform a spirited coming-of-age romp through the world of smashing, popping, and crushing. Twenty toes… twenty reasons to sit in the front row!

WEDDING OF THE MEMBER
Adapted by Robert Keefe from GAI, GAI, PENDONS-NOUS! (1930) by Jacques Jouvin
.
A farce in the classic Grand Guignol style. A wine-making family and a bottle-making family have fallen on hard times. An arranged marriage seems to be the answer to everyone’s problems… until the bride discovers her husband-to-be is ‘well-hung.’ Directed by Russell Blackwood.

 

RELENTLESS BEATING
Our ‘Barefoot Beauties’ are at it again. More toe-cuffed, tickling, boot-licking excitement than has ever been presented on the American stage!

ORGY IN THE LIGHTHOUSE
Adapted by Daniel Zilber from ORGIE DANS LA PHARE (1956) by Alfred Machard.
The most popular piece of the Grand Guignol’s post-war repertoire. Prostitutes and sailors make for a combustible combination in the cramped living quarters of a lighthouse off the coast of France… but it’s after the orgy that things really start to heat up! Directed by Russell Blackwood.

WARNING: Contains graphic violence, nudity, and sexual situations. No one under 18 will be admitted.
