The Thing That Came From Over There!

by Gonzo Moose Theatre

comedy, theatre

Spoof horror that's a fast-paced rollicking ride, mixing paranoia, suspense and hilariously gruesome deaths.

about the production

It’s 1912, and the hapless explorer, Captain Reginald Cranston, land on Antarctica to race to the Pole. When a meteor crashes nearby, Cranston and his crew decide to investigate unaware of the danger that awaits not just them, but the whole of planet Earth. What ancient evil lurks inside the crater? What is the dark secret of the slimy fungus? And what is the horrifying fate of those who encounter the parasitic space worms? With comedy and thrills galore, the show features visual gags, verbal wit, giant puppetry, and even a little bit of live music.
