This October, Mockingbird Improv presents a three-week descent into improvised horror. Each night, our cast conjures a brand-new, never-before-seen horror story live on stage — inspired by your suggestions and the greatest nightmares in film history. Watch our performers split up when they absolutely should not, investigate strange noises, and say "hello?" into the darkness like it's ever worked once. Survive an 80s slasher, witness a demonic possession, and join the harvest with folk horror — the flower crowns are mandatory and we won't explain why. No two shows are the same. No one is safe. Especially not the performers, who have no idea what's coming either. Mockingbird Improv on Facebook / Instagram
