About SEATING OPTIONS at Thrillpeddlers' Hypnodrome:
Our intimate venue seats only forty-five guests, so we do recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. "General Admission" seats are filled on a first-come basis and we encourage patrons to arrive early (the doors open a 1/2 hour before show time). For couples seeking privacy and an extra jolt during Thrillpeddlers' signature blackout spook show, "Shock Box" seats are well worth the extra $10 per couple. Winner of SF Weekly's "Best of San Francisco" Award for "Best Bonus Theater Experience" our Shock Boxes are themed loveseats (Heaven and Hell, The Pharaoh's Tomb, and The Asylum of Shock), that offer the same opportunity for illicit trysting that was once a feature of the Parisian Theatre du Grand Guignol - thanks to a sheer curtain that can be drawn to conceal the goings on inside each private booth. In our "Turkish Lounge" for two, couples may bask in decadent languor and kick back among oriental carpets and silken pillows while enjoying the show.

THE PLAYS
"Coals of Fire"
A Classic Grand Guignol Thriller by Fredrick Whitney
Directed by Flynn DeMarco
Banned in Britian in 1922 for the play's use of graphic violence and immoral subject matter, Thrillpeddlers revive this one-act play that was originally intended for the stage of London's Grand Guignol theatre.
"I'm A Mummy"
A Vintage British Music Hall Act
"The Bride of Death"
A One-Act Horror Play by Michael Phillis
Based on characters and story ideas by Flynn DeMarco and Michael Phillis
Directed by Russell Blackwood
It is the mid 1940s, somewhere along the California coast. A Reporter and his Photographer have been sent to the sprawling home of aging actress Evelyn Maxwell. Famous for her "101 Death Scenes" in the London Grand Guignol, Maxwell is rumored to be making a comeback in film, reprising the role that made her infamous onstage: The Bride of Death. But all is not as it seems when they arrive. The Butler and Maid are hiding something. The Doctor is harboring a terrible secret in his basement laboratory. A mysterious young woman is singing inside the walls. And Evelyn Maxwell has not aged a single day in her thirty years away from the spotlight.
