The following article was co-written with Taylor Winters. cages A narrow alleyway awaits. Crooked little buildings all huddled together, a little too close – almost as if they are trying to get far away from something. I begin walking down the brick pathway and find an odd hole with words scratched next to it: […]
The neon green toxic waste bubbles and burps in the vat, nerdy Melvin lost beneath the surface. Melvin’s attackers peer over the rim of the vat, making sure he’s no longer a threat. Satisfied, they turn their attentions elsewhere until a monstrous roar stops them in their tracks. One deformed hand after another emerges from […]
A paper boat floats down the petite gutter river; a little boy chasing from behind. The boat – the S.S. Georgie – picks up speed and sails down the sewer drain, far out of the little boy’s reach. Luckily for him, the sewer is not empty, but home to a friendly clown named Pennywise, who […]
Her skirt is a white river, flowing down the staircase. The loose fabric tangles beneath her, and the woman screams as she tumbles into the wooden step. Scrambling to her feet, she reaches the top, and tries doorway after doorway – one locked, one a kill chamber, one leading to a dead end – and […]
Nearly 7 feet tall with a green-tinged face, The Creature stomps forward to the front of the stage.

Joyce and Jim Hopper plead for him to be careful through his walkie-talkie, but he presses on. “Go,” he chants to himself, over and over. He turns […]
Kunda… Astratta… Montosse… Kanda… Something stirs within the woods, an ancient evil awakens. Join us, it whispers. The evil draws closer, consuming the living like an infection, and breathing new, rancid life into the dead. These demons writhe and moan, anxious to swallow any soul in their path. Then, they begin to… sing and dance..? […]
I was thrilled to get a chance to see a musical retelling of Edward Scissorhands, one of my favorite films. The juxtaposition of the candy-colored images and the dark heart of the story make it, in my opinion, one of the strongest of Tim Burton’s films. Unfortunately, Scissorhands: A Musical Inspired by the Film doesn’t […]
