Ghostlight Ensemble presents Krampus!
No need to wait until December 5 to celebrate Krampusnacht. Krampus is getting a jump start on the holidays and delivering all sorts of tricks starting October 31.
Krampus!, Jaclyn Jensen and Mike Wozniak’s original play, brings horror and humor to the stage as the Murray family gathers together for the holidays and where better to celebrate than in a place where deaths keep mysteriously happening…
Mrs. Murray is looking forward to one final Christmas together as a family before her eldest daughter takes off to New York City with her boyfriend. And what could be more perfect than spending the holiday with her bickering family in a remote cabin in the Wisconsin woods during a snowstorm with a Christmas demon on the loose? Nothing says Christmas like abject fear.
Tickets are on sale now for this new take on the classic holiday tale of switches and chains and devils who punish naughty children by stuffing them into baskets and dragging them to the fiery depths of hell.
Krampus! stars Jean E. Burr, Sean Harklerode, Stefanie Johnsen, Allison McCorkle, Christopher Paul Mueller, J. Rohr, Paul Tinsley, Michael Wagman and Chad Wise; and featuring Fight Choreography by Alex Farrington.
The show takes place at Underground Wonder Bar (710 N. Clark St., Chicago 60654) in River North at 7:30 p.m. on October 31, November 1, November 7-8, December 5-6 and December 12-13, 2016. Tickets are $10 in advance at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2666045 or $12 at the door.

Phantasm RaVager – In Theaters ONE NIGHT ONLY!
The 5th and final Phantasm movie, RaVager, is currently available On Demand and will play in theaters one night only, October 7th, at the Muvico Rosemont 18 in Rosemont, IL, just north of Chicago near O’Hare airport.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see the phinal Phantasm on the big screen! Get details and tickets at http://www.wellgousa.com/theatrical/phantasm-ravager!
For 37 years, audiences have followed small town friends Reggie, Mike, and Jody in their quest to stop the evil, dimension-hopping schemes of The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm in his final performance) and his armada of killer Sentinel Spheres. Now, Don Coscarelli’s acclaimed horror/sci-fi Phantasm franchise comes to a close in a truly epic finale, a multi-dimensional battle across multiple timelines, alien planets, and altered realities, where no less than the fate of Earth is on the line.
NOTE: Phantasm: Remastered, the 4K restoration of the movie that started it all, will also be playing at the Muvico Rosemont 18 on the 7th – details and tickets at http://www.wellgousa.com/theatrical/phantasm-remastered.
ADDENDUM: Flashback Weekend is presenting both films as a double-feature – Phantasm Remastered at 8:00 pm and RaVager at 10:00! Details at https://www.carmike.com/il/muvico-rosemont-18-rosemont-il/film-info/phantasmremastered-ravager-df.


La Casa de Satanas, Oct. 28-30
La Casa de Satanas is a highly interactive, performance art based, occult inspired performance loosely based on the theme of “haunted house”. We are in our fourth year and it is created/hosted by local avant-garde working artists from the Pilsen neighborhood. The performance will be visually/aurally stunning and provocative. The themes will be topical, current, and explore our deepest fears.
In past year; participants enjoyed cocktails, were made to crawl, were blindfolded, danced, and even laughed. Violence, gore, nudity? Yes.
No one under the age of 18 is allowed to enter and all participants MUST sign a waiver. This is not for the too faint of heart. There is also a “safe word” for participants.
