Original music inspired by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwarz

After inspiring nightmares—and controversy—for generations, the eerie, unforgettable tales of Alvin Schwarz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will now inspire spooky original music for the Bushwick stage. We’ll leave a nightlight on for you…

“A wonderful collection of tales that range from creepy to silly to haunting. Gammell's drawings add just the right touch." — Entertainment Weekly

“Schwartz managed to marry the old school terror of classic ghost stories with the all-too-real terror that comes with living in the modern world.” — Bustle

Heads up: Schwarz’s folktale retellings gave 90s kids nightmares for good reason: ghosts, ghouls, murder, and the macabre all abound, brought to life by Stephen Gammell’s brilliantly grotesque illustrations.

Performers include:

Peter Donovan, Lauren Drake, Debbie Miller, Karen Miller, Shelby Natasha, Shaudi Bianca Vahdat, Mike Votava, Sophie Wheaton, and Amanda Winterhalter
