spindle collective, with the generous support of Eldritch Theatre, is proud to be producing ‘Dead of Winter: The First Toronto Horror Theatre Festival’!
Featuring 6 original horror-plays by different local artists, experience the magic of a genre that brings us together as we clutch each other in terror. The festival will feature different guest musicians that thrive in the dark each night for a special performance. Don’t miss out on what is to be the most exciting, strange and mysterious event of the Winter Theatre Season, that supports indie artists in the creation of new innovative works, allows us to celebrate horror as a community, and appeases the Elder Gods!
