Nightmare: Superstitions Extends Through November 13

The Halloween spectacular, Nightmare: Superstitions, the seventh edition of the theatrical haunted house created and directed by Timothy Haskell, has extended its run at The Noho Event Center, and will now play through November 13.

The piece takes audiences into a surreal version of The Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, one of America’s first psychiatric hospitals, now defunct. Theatergoers will be made to feel that they are visiting the schizophrenic/manic-depressive wing that specializes in extreme paranoia, where patients have voluntarily admitted themselves seeking protection from the danger they perceive is awaiting them because they broke a superstition.

The show explores 13 superstitions, including broken mirrors cause seven years of bad luck, cameras steal people’s souls, never say Macbeth in a theater, a black cat crossing a person’s path causes bad luck, and rabbits feet are good luck.

The creative team includes Paul Smithyman (production design) and Justin Haskell (art direction), as well as Garin Marshall (lighting design), David Roy (sound design), Candice Thompson (costume design), and Sylva Ventiko (additional design).
