Horror magazine celebrates launch of Expressionist stage
show
RUE MORGUE is proud to announce the launch of
its first in-house production NIGHTMARE PICTURE THEATRE, an original
multi-layered live music and stage production composed and performed by Toronto
artist JAMES FISHER complimenting the award-winning short films of
THE BROTHERS QUAY and directed by RUE MORGUE President and
Editor-In-Chief ROD GUDINO. NIGHTMARE PICTURE THEATRE is the year’s
most unique Halloween dedication, a macabre moving image concerto equal
parts live music, stop-motion animation cinema and expressionist theatre.
One of the best and cutting-edge exercises in live horror theatre in
recent memory, NIGHTMARE PICTURE THEATRE has received accolades from Clive
Barker, who calls it “Moving and disturbing and beautiful all at
once,” along with Horror Web, who referred to it as “Spine-tingling,
powerful, musical story telling,” and The Horror Channel who labelled it
“dark, dramatic, and disturbing.”
NIGHTMARE PICTURE THEATRE
tells the story – through music and moving images – of a child who is
tormented by a sinister Bedside Presence into having nightmares of his future
life. Set in an abandoned picture theatre, the nightmares animate the spectres
of childhood, the anxieties of adolescence, the fears of adulthood, and an old
age haunted by memory and impending death.
NIGHTMARE PICTURE THEATRE
has an exclusive running engagement at the Rue Morgue House of Horror
(2926 Dundas St. West) until Monday, October 31. Visit
www.rue-morgue.com for the show
schedule.
RUE MORGUE is Canada’s original, independent horror
culture and entertainment magazine, a homegrown success story that has taken
the North American horror industry by storm. Officially launched two days
before Halloween in 1997 by Gudino, RUE MORGUE has become a genre institution
with one of the leading magazines in its field. During its brief history, RUE
MORGUE has developed The Rue Morgue Festival of Fear, Canada’s first
national horror expo, Rue Morgue Radio, an all-horror on-line music station,
and Rue Morgue Presents CineMacabre, an ongoing monthly movie screening,
exclusively at Toronto’s legendary Bloor Cinema.
