Dark-Readers: Goosebumps comes ALIVE! Announcement

So, you may remember my love for immersive theatre and how much I raved about Alice's adventures underground last year (one of my favourite pieces of theatre). Well the Vaults have done it again, this time taking the nostalgia level up a notch and bringing everyone's favourite horror series Goosebumps to life! Even the prospect of walking through one of those books is spine tingling...
For those of you who don't remember here is the creepy theme song that opened the TV series, bringing the horrors to life far to well...

and who could forget this...

So who is ready to take a walk through your favourite books.... but remember ' The Only Way Out ...is though!'

from 14TH APRIL – 4TH SEPTEMBER 2016 The vaults will play host to Goospbumps Alive,

with with an original score by cult-favourite band The Tiger Lillies (SHOCKHEADED PETER), scenes from some of Stine’s most iconic creations – including

Stay Out Of The Basement,

Night Of The Living Dummy

and Say Cheese And Die!

– will be given a modern twist for adult audiences. With design by Samuel Wyer (ALICE’S ADVENTURESUNDERGROUND), costumes from Susan Kulkarni (SECRET CINEMA) sound design from Daffyd Gough (THE GENERATION OF Z), masks from Ministry of Masks, as well as puppets and animatronics. The Tiger Lillies will perform live intermittently throughout the run.

For those of you who also want to give the children a massive fright (we don't blame you) a children’s version of the show (Goosebumps KIDS) will open in May, running on weekends and holidays (14th May – 4th September).

Kieron Vanstone, Director at The Vaults said: “I’ve wanted to take Goosebumps to the stage

for years but had to make sure I could do justice to R.L. Stine’s trademark combination of horror

and humour. Immersive events have become the lifeblood of London culture, from Punchdrunk to

Secret Cinema, and Goosebumps is perfectly suited to the genre – these stories were made to be

experienced up close, with every shiver, sound and unsettling sight! He added: “I’ve been a lifelong fan of Goosebumps – who could forget Night of the Living Dummy? – and am thrilled to be bringing these shows to London next year, along with some of the best creative talent around.”
