Terror from the page – on stage!
CAPTURED AURAL PHANTASY THEATER presents its Haunted Horror Spook Show at the historic El Cid for One Night Only – Sunday, November 3.
The perfect conclusion to your Halloween festivities is this terrifying live variety show! It’s a dazzling combination of multimedia, radio show-style performances of vintage 50’s horror comic book stories with the elements of an old-time spook show—featuring live music, ghostly effects, weird magic acts, spine-chilling tales, sultry singing and a monstrous séance.

Chilling and Gory Horror Comic Books comin’ at ya, LIVE!
Before slasher films and torture porn, and before the U.S. Senate sanitized the entertainment industry during the mid-’50s, kids gobbled up horrific tales of murder and the occult in comic books. The Haunted Horror Spook Show brings select tales of comic book terror to life, giving them an absurd spin in CAPT’s signature variety show format.
Captured Aural Phantasy Theater is the original comic book / radio / variety show based right here in LA for over 5 years! Accept no substitutes this Halloween season!
