Title: Splatter Theater – ONLINE!
Venue and Format: Livestream
Innovation: Adapting various horror effects (lots of fake blood, stage deaths, etc.) for a virtual livestream.
The Annoyance Theatre will celebrate the ONLINE return of its flagship show: “Splatter Theater.” Now in its 34th year, “Splatter Theater” is an annual slasher spoof, full of outrageous thrills and chills. This year the show is updated with a fresh take for 2020. “Splatter Theater” will be presented live from the cast’s homes and broadcast virtually for a truly modern twist on the classic genre. An ONLINE ONLY parody of Friday the 13th type movies, the characters in “Splatter Theater” include such archetypes as the nun, the school jock, the virgin, the class dick, and, of course, the bumbling old man. Laugh and watch them all die in different, horrific ways: tongue pulled out, drill to the head, intestines being ripped out, slashed throat, and the list goes on. The audience will be horrified and delighted by the end, when the victims’ screens are covered in blood and their floors in guts! The show, originally directed by Mick Napier, is directed this year by Joe McDaniel and Cassidy Russell.
