The Tombstone Tavern is the local haunt of horror legends Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Wailing Woman, Wolf Man and The Mummy. 

Under cover of darkness they get in the drinks and try to give one another chills with their own takes on Lovecraft, B movies, slashers, ghost stories and the occult. But perhaps all is not what it seems…


Tales from the Tombstone Tavern celebrates all that we love from the world of horror, whilst also asking how we want to get our frights in 2020. Taking a new perspective, the company of theatre makers uses traditional horror tropes to challenge the attitudes to gender in the genre and look at well-known stories and characters in a new light. First episode coming this Wednesday!
