Spooky Town

Spooky Town is a dark comedy about a town haunted not by ghosts, but by laughter.

When laughter rates suddenly skyrocket in a small, eerie town, X and Z think little of it—until people start dying. Not from fear or violence, but from laughing too hard. As mysterious blood puddles appear, power flickers, and odd new student Y becomes increasingly unsettling, the friends find themselves at the heart of something deeply wrong. They uncover that laughter is no longer harmless—it’s deadly. But the more they try to resist it, the more contagious it becomes.

Spooky Town blends comedy and horror through a surreal, often absurd lens. Part paranormal mystery, part existential panic, the play explores how we cope when the line between joy and destruction disappears. With sharp dialogue, queer romance, and escalating tension, it’s a love story about fear and a theatrical ghost story without any ghosts.
