Over 8 million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the most successful—and terrifying—theatre events ever staged, and now it’s coming to spook San Francisco Bay Area audiences this holiday season with all the stage thrills that have led audiences across the globe to shriek in fear for over 30 years!
