Press Reviews
"Delivers far more in the way of dramatic psychological stage terror than the jump scares from a trip through a Halloween spook house ever could."
— WMUK
"F. Andrew Leslie’s script remains fairly faithful to the novel, gradually building a sense of dread… The story itself is full of silence and ellipses; the first scare happens offstage, and is only described, allowing audience imaginations to create their own picture."
— MD Theatre Guide
"A delightfully creepy night out… You will leave the theater and check behind your shoulder one last time … just in case."
— Pueblo Star Journal
