"This rollicking spoof of the great horror classics arrives just in time to put some extra sizzle in summer. Journey back with us to the foggy moors of Mandacrest Mansion, the home of Lord Edgar and Lady Enid. In addition to the Lord and Lady and their sinister staff, there are vampires, werewolves and mummies tossed into this turbulent web of mystery and intrigue. The eight suspicious characters are embodied by two courageous actors, in this case Paul Pecorino and Chris Dell'Armo," state press notes. Tony Caselli is the director.

The production runs: Wednesday through Saturday at 8pm.  The running time is 2 hours, and admission is: $18. Tickets are available through SmartTix: 212 868 4444.
