Five college students spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods, accidentally unleashing an evil terror. In this comedic take on the 1980s horror franchise, characters and demons sing and dance to songs written specifically for the musical. And, as in the films, Ash is there to dish out his various one-liners and fight the neverending demons.Based on the cult-hit Horror franchise, five college students spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods, accidentally unleashing an evil terror… that dances and sings!!. From the folks who brought you the Sterling nominated 2016 Fringe hit, Bat Boy, come witness the horror and musical mayhem!
