Deathscribe is an extraordinary evening of live performances of original short radio plays, written by horror enthusiasts and professionals from all around the globe. The thrill of watching skilled foley artists creating sound effects live, right in front of you, is truly like no other. With live musical accompaniment by Seeking Wonderland, exclusive radio commercials, special guest directors and a celebrity panel to judge the best in the fest, the festival is magical.
Imagine "Prairie Home Companion" with horror.
The winner of the “Bloody Axe” chosen by this year's panel of horror and theatre experts is Jessica Wright Buha for her play, "Alabama Mermaid" (directed by Carolyn Hoerdemann)
