This short is the funniest thing. I'm so jealous I didn't write it. I adore everything about this from start to finish. 10/10, I love these characters. Please produce this everywhere.

Teenage girls are scary, haunted dolls are scarier, and this short combines them both to chilling effect. Good actors and lighting design will make this an absolutely terrifying addition to a night of shorts. I love how it builds slowly, and by the time the true extent of the danger is realized, it's already too late. That final moment - yikes!

Whoa. This monologue reads like poetry, with the stellar imagery and the repetition - Which only makes it spookier, somehow? What a gift this monologue is for an actor: You get to show a whole range of emotion and even have things to do with your hands! Creepy in the best way.

This short play about a divorce is so funny and then so scary and then the scary things are being funny, and I just... five stars. Satanic dolls have never been such a delight. What a fantastic opportunity for a sound designer as well, and I'd love to see the puppet (or person??) playing Annabelle!

Whooooaaa this short is an emotional rollercoaster! These poor frightened, hiding teens, that monologue about the moon, the ENDING! I don't want to give anything away. But oh boy, this was a wild ride.

Oh my goodness, this is so bittersweet! This play was not anything I expected it to be. How delightful to be surprised in such a wonderful way. This sweet, thought-provoking, easy-to-stage two hander deserves many productions.

Oh my gosh, the sounds in this one!! What a dream project for a sound designer. The reveal in this short horror play is great, and like all the best horror tales, there are some lines that are actually very funny. Plus I love the button at the end.

This short is a perfect exorcism for our current times! I love how immersive it is, involving both the audience and a variety of sounds. It is truly a play that will surround you! I would love to see it staged and watch the intensity ramp up. I hope this is produced often and everywhere.

This short play uses so many tropes of horror films so well! I love how, like any good horror show, the scariest bits happen offstage, where sounds and your imagination make them way worse than they would be onstage. This play gave me big Stephen King vibes. (I say this as a person who has never read a Stephen King book in her life, so I may, in fact, be wrong there. But I'm definitely correct in saying you should check this play out.)

This short is a delight - plus it had me googling "Bram Stoker hot" to see what the results were, so it is also educational. This two-hander would make a fun palate cleanser in a night of Halloween shorts, as it's more funny and mind twisty (please see the sexy is scary and scary is sexy argument) than a more typical horror-style Halloween play.
