SQ Classics: NEEDLE (2010) and PLAY DEAD with Zombart - November 20, 2010

You were warned.

Now you're doomed.

Another vintage episode of ScreamQueenz has escaped the asylum, and this one's got a death curse!!

Brace yourself for a blast from November 20, 2020: a double dose of excerpts from Episode 17, including a Crapshoot review of NEEDLE, the 2010 Australian tale of mechanized voodoo running rampant on a college campus.

NEEDLE is currently streaming for free on Tubi, The Roku Channel and YouTube

Plus, we're joined by listener Zombart to talk about our terrifying trip to see PLAY DEAD at the Players Theater in New York City.

Teller and Todd Robbins invite Death out to play in PLAY DEAD, a new spirit-shaking Off-Broadway show inspired by “Midnight Spook Shows,” an American institution from the 1930s to the 1970s.

As the guide for the evening, Robbins draws audiences into an unknown haunted world full of frightful surprises and diabolical laughter.

Although very much a theatrical work, it is hardly a typical “play,” but rather a dramatic, unnerving thriller – here and now in an “abandoned” theater, illuminated by a single ghostlight – in which audiences test their nerves and face their fears as they are surrounded by ethereal sights, sounds and even touches of the returning dead – all achieved by wry, suspenseful storytelling and uncanny stage illusions. -NewYorkCityTheaterGuide.com

NEEDLE was directed by John V. Soto, written by Anthony Egan and stars Ben Mendelsohn, Jane Badler, Travis Fimmel, Michael Dorman, Tahnya Tozzie McManus and Trilby Glover
