This outrageous spoof, written by Charles Ludlam, is a family-friendly horror-comedy, complete with werewolves, vampires and an archaeologist with mummy issues. The play is a campy tribute to gothic horror films, liberally stealing from well-known classics. Two actors play all of the play's characters, racing through a literal quick-change marathon.
