Despite its reduced time and stories, Wicked Lit once again delivers a masterpiece of immersive theater. The stories are riveting and compelling, and the portrayals by the actors—some new to Wicked Lit and some returning from different roles in previous seasons—really draw audience members into a different world and history. The mausoleum setting provides a wonderfully ghostly ambiance in which to enjoy such ominous tales.

The cast and crew had good material to work from; Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm’s adaptation of “Teig O'Kane and The Corpse” and Josephson’s adaptation of “The Chimes” are both exceptionally well done. Although both plays will give you chills at times, you won’t leave fretting about nightmares. And despite the creepy atmosphere, Wicked Lit resists the temptation for jump scares. For lovers of ghost stories of all kinds, Wicked Lit is one of the best treats of the Halloween season. If you don’t immediately think of Wicked Lit when everything pumpkin spice rolls out, try it this year — and start a new fall tradition. Since 2013, Wicked Lit has sold every ticket to every performance, so don’t wait! Some shows are already sold out.
