Theatre horror masters reveal techniques for creating scary stage shows
Horror theatre creators discuss methods for frightening audiences at UK venues through February.
Real experiences inspire stage fright
Director Sam Beech created a new show after a personal encounter with an unknown presence in his car. He now uses darkness and silence to build tension for his production Blackout. The writer admits he no longer enjoys driving at night following that incident.
Designers compare stage tricks to films
Illusion designer Chris Fisher explains that hearing music is often scarier than seeing a mechanical prop. His show Paranormal Activity runs at the London Ambassador theatre until 27 February. Audiences report checking under their beds after watching the performance.
Shows tour across the country
Multiple horror productions are currently playing in theatres throughout the United Kingdom. These events aim to make spectators grab the arms of those sitting nearby. The runs continue until late February at various locations.
