It Came From Beyond The Script
Directed by Malcolm Morrison
Aliens have invaded! Vampires are stalking the night! The Thing From The Lake is being a general nuisance! For some reason, it's all happening in a small, nowhere, 1960's town. But we can't worry about that, because the town fair is opening in just 3 days! Sally and Kate are getting married! But the Mayor – Sally's dad – won't let that happen because Kate comes from the wrong family!
ICFBTS is an improvised retro-horror/comedy, integrating numerous tech elements. The audience decides the title of the episode and will discover what new horrors await our lovable cast of quaint characters.
“This festival blows me away with its skill and generosity... In short it is a breath-taking, giddying display of mastery.”
