Bloody Pulp: Vampires in America
with The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society
SATURDAY, AUGUST 15
SHOWTIME: 7:00 PM – DOORS OPEN AT 6:00 PM
TICKETS: $30-$40
The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society invites you to celebrate the Halloween season with two uniquely American vampire stories, performed in the style of vintage radio broadcasts, complete with period commercials and live sound effects!
It’s an “entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by” (Cherry and Spoon), brought to life by veteran Twin Cities performers Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster, who “use their voices to paint a picture so vivid that if you close your eyes, you can see the action in your mind’s eye.” (Stages of Minnesota)
“The Horror from the Mound” from Escape
Desperate to save his failing Texas farm, Steve Brill stakes everything on a local legend of buried gold. What he finds beneath the earth will change his life forever. Adapted from the 1932 short story by Robert E. Howard.
“Moonlight of Madness” from Inner Sanctum
Struggling author Edgar Allan Poe investigates the strange case of a woman who survived being buried alive, only to discover that she may have returned from the grave as something else. Adapted from the 1940 short story by Manly Wade Wellman.
PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIOUS OLD RADIO LISTENING SOCIETY:
“Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster have this down cold — not just the technical aspect, but the tone… Chilling as it might be to experience these tales (complete with old-school ads) alone in the dark, it’s much more fun to experience them with a crowd.” –City Pages
“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment… The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” – Pioneer Press
“This show is an entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by, that of the radio drama. The creators of this show have a podcast of the same name… and their love for and knowledge of the genre is evident… There’s a reason these radio horror shows were so popular, and happily they continue to exist in some form today thanks to Ghoulish Delights.” –Cherry and Spoon
