←Recommendations of Unknown Number

We released an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 4 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e18). Greg Mandryk is a master at world building and with UNKNOWN NUMBER he has given us an eerie encounter between Samantha and an unknown entity. The tension slowly reveals itself as we witness her panic build with each phone call. The story keeps you guessing til the end and this writer's words never release their grip on you.

Terrifying and creepy! The mingling of the off kilter voices are harrowing and bone-chilling. Mandryk has organized this piece in a way that in the end, your own imagination ends up being what gets you.

Holy sh*t!! UNKNOWN NUMBER is how you do horror. I'm not going to lie, I yelled at my Spotify for her to not open the door! The writing by Greg Mandryk is peak in this one. Absolutely give it a listen on Gather By The Ghost Light (kudos to Chris Plumridge as well).

However you encounter this script (be it the OG paper or the stellar audio productions by RubySky Productions and Gather By The Ghost Light), it is guaranteed to leave a mark on you. This is delicious, terrifying horror. Is it all in Samantha’s head? Does that matter? Clear answers are devilishly and deftly left to our own minds to supply, and none of them are good. You’ll certainly be thinking of this play next time it’s cold outside and you’re home alone. Just magnificent.

Greg Mandryk takes the audience in quite a ride with something all of us fear -- that a stranger might be watching and/or luring us into danger under the premise of something we trust. At what point do we call for help? If you like horror, you'll love the suspense of this play, which packs a real punch in a short period of time. Theatres should consider producing this play with its powerful story and a relatively small cast and set needs. Well done.

What a wonderfully creepy play, especially in this time of AI and the doubts it inspires about what is real and what we can trust. This will have the audience on the edge of their seats!

What I do know is that this creepy story had my number, alright- and my full attention! A series of strange phone calls leads to [I'm not going to tell you! You have to experience it for yourself!] Another wonderful piece of horror to haunt your ears on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast! A terrific collaboration with Ruby Sky Productions!

"Unknown Number" unfolds as a chilling psychological thriller full of tension and mystery. The suspenseful buildup and unexpected twists kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat until the very end.

Horror done very well: increasing by degrees as the play goes on. The audience knows something is a little wrong to begin, then things turn more and more wrong. But by that time, there's no escape. Greg Mandryk has pulled you in with "Unknown Number."

Whoa! You may want to read this one with the lights on, it’s that scary! A woman alone. A raging winter storm outside. Familiar yet unwelcome voices. What’s happening?! What’s real?! You’ll have plenty of time to discuss after you catch your breath!
