Curated and Hosted by Clay McLeod Chapman

Times, author of "Shock Value"

The discussion at hand: "What is the scariest movie you ever saw...?"

Everybody has a horror movie that scared the bejesus out of them as a
kid. Every actor has one, too. Fear-Mongers enlists top-shelf artists
to pay homage to their guiltiest pleasures: horror movies. Part
talk-show, part reading-series, Fear-Mongers is an entertaining
evening for both horror fans and general spectators alike.
Co-sponsored by The Terror Trap and Fangoria Magazine.

Thursday, October 27 - 9:30pm
This Lurking Thing
Written and performed by Jonathan Fielding
With an adaptation of a short story by Esther Friesner
Directed by David A. Miller

A grim historian, a witchy old lady, and a numbed mourner recount
tales of their greatest Halloween horrors and fantasies.

The living are far more feared than the dead in this Halloween
triptych - the true and grisly history of Dracula, the macabre bedtime
story of an infirm woman, and the biography of a man who presides as a
living ghost. Each story reveals the scarier side of presenting our
true selves.

Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29 - 9:30pm
