  • John Busser: It Is in the Wall by Nora Louise Syran
    “

    09.28.25 - As someone who appreciates the tension buildup of horror rather than a gross in-your-face knife kill (The original The Haunting is better than 90% of what passes for horror nowadays IMO) this little creep fest by Nora Louise Syran clawed my scary bone in all the right ways. I think what you DON'T see is scarier and Syran puts off the threat until it's too late to do anything about it, which is perfect. This would be wonderful to see realized on stage.

    Like all good horror tales, this one will grab you from the very beginning and won't let go and just when you think you've made it through all the hurdles, your imagination will get the best of you just as the blackout occurs.

    This is the perfect short spooky play for young performers. Atmospheric, not graphic, full of relatable characters and fun fear building. Students will love putting this play together!

    Just the perfect radio play - the sound effects in and of themselves are an aural treat. A wonderful short play for juvenile performers with an excellent twist at the end. Brought back so many memories of Ouija boards and friendship. Playwright Nora Louise Syran writes with great compassion for her characters.

    This play conjured up memories of playing "Bloody Mary" as a child. Great, spooky fun!

    The use of location, light, and legacy create uncertainty and unleash imagination. Written as a radio drama this coming of age tale would also do well on stage. The twists and turns are fun and keep you intrigued to the end. A nice addition to a Halloween festival!

    What a delightfully spooky short play about young people testing limits, creating adventures, and noises... lots and lots of unexplained noises. This would be a dream play for a cast of talented young people. With SPOOKY SEASON just around the corner, check this play out!

    Surely there is a better place to dabble with the occult than the church bathroom floor! This is such a fun, spooky play with twists I did not see coming. I think this would make a great piece for a youth group to perform, each actor would have lots of fun with the roles and it could be staged quite spookily. Great fun!
