Ten playwrights bring their funniest takes on the fearsome in this collection of ten-minute plays. Designed to be flexible for your evil plans, these plays can be performed in any combination.
Scared Silly is composed of:
It’s You – The Brillmore Strangler is on the loose – and as a slasher-movie junkie, Lois couldn’t be more excited. Her friends are less thrilled, especially when they hear she’s tracked the killer to the very room they’re in.
In The Waiting Room At The Ghost Placement Agency – When you don’t have enough visitors to properly haunt your attic, or your spooky gazebo gets turned into a strip mall, it’s time to hit the ghost placement agency for a new assignment.
The Rocky Junction Rumor – Tess falls head-over-heels for the new kid in school the moment he recites the first line of his sensitive poetry. Her friends are happy for her – that is, until they hear the rumor started by Tess’s jealous ex-boyfriend that Vladimir might be a vampire!
The True Meaning of Halloween – On Halloween night, a couple opens their door to a find true monster: a teenager without a costume who demands candy anyway.
The Midnight Club – It’s hard enough for a group of students from different walks of life to get along in detention under the best of circumstances. Try midnight detention at a supernatural school.
The Kev-Burger – Even though Trisha’s broken her glasses, she’s excited to have a nice meal at the new burger place in town. But soon she’ll see that something’s suspicious here. Like the guy covered in blood lurking around.
The (Completely Inaccurate) Legend of the Mummy Witch House – Three urban explorers venture into a haunted house to find proof of a legend, but when they come face-to-face with the creepy place’s real residents, they’re not quite what the trio expected.
Left Hanging – All the volunteers at a Halloween spook alley fundraiser are sick of their director Delia’s perfectionism. She’s not happy with anybody except for one mysterious newcomer...who may not be a volunteer at all.
Forever Friends – Ash is devoted to her stuffed animals, even though she’s thirteen and people give her a hard time. Turns out someone else knows exactly how she feels – a terrifying ghost who lives in her closet.
Attack of the Cafeteria Zombies – Earth faces a peril unlike anything humanity has ever seen. When the principal and a school bully start acting strangely, a group of students discover that aliens are testing a mind control device on their school lunch.
