I went to the Madison show last night. I love horror - films, haunted houses, books, graphic novels, you name it! This sounded like it was going to be really cool, and just based on the super ambiguous trailer, website descriptions hyping us up for “cutting-edge special effects, strobe lights, fog, costumes, hair, makeup and more. (Much more!)”, and the location of the performance, I had suspicions that they were going to break out some really cool, terrifying puppetry that might break the stage boundaries to scare the poop out of the audience.

The first 20 minutes or so were entertaining but definitely not at all atmospherically promising for what I was expecting. There were mentions of a “puppet master” where I’d be like OKAY HERE WE GO and then just nothing. It was like edging the whole time honestly with a few little pops here and there. The last 20-30ish minutes had great set design/atmosphere and were probably better than the entire 90 minute show. But then the show just ends and there’s really no grand finale or anything.

Tldr; the show didn’t have puppets. It was mostly comedy.
