Playhouses of Horror!!!

Vegas Theatre Company and Majestic Repertory Theatre go all in for Halloween chills...

Two more horror-filled live productions are packing them in at the Arts District. First up, Majestic Repertory Theatre, enjoying rave reviews for THE CRAFT'D, has added EMPANDA LOCA to its already-busy schedule.

"Bloody awful things happen behind closed doors...Empanada Loca, our little terror tale, begins for a limited Spooky Season run. Inspired by the legend of Sweeney Todd, the less you know beforehand, the more gut-wrenching it'll be. We do guarantee it's an edge-of-your-seat thrill for those with an appetite for terror!" - Majestic Repertory Theatre

"Now living deep under Manhattan in an abandoned subway tunnel, a very hungry Dolores recounts her years selling weed with her boyfriend, her return to Washington Heights after thirteen years in prison, her fortuitous reunion with an old stoner friend who lets her give massages for cash in the basement under his empanada shop, and the bloodbath that sent her fleeing underground. Loosely inspired by the legend of Sweeney Todd, Empanada Loca is a delicious Grand Guignol horror that will crawl under your skin."

NOTE: Entrance to this event will be through the rear of the theatre. There is a step up to the entrance. If you are mobility-impaired, please notify us at info@majesticrepertory.com, and we will accommodate you.

Mere blocks away, Vegas Theatre Company is following last year's ABANDON with something that promises to be equally horrifying. It's called Zombie Joe's Underground's URBAN DEATH, and it's currently playing through November 2nd.

"Las Vegas Horror Show, the creative team behind the award-winning Las Vegas blockbuster hit ABANDON, now brings Zombie Joe’s Underground’s Urban Death Vegas shuddering to life. Celebrating 20 years in existence, this Las Vegas premiere draws on the original Urban Death canon along with new pieces that illuminate all that is truly terrifying about life in Las Vegas."

ABANDON was a sensation for Vegas Theatre Company in 2024

"Delivered in rapid-fire, wordless vignettes and enhanced by an original, killer soundtrack and terrifying visual effects, Urban Death Vegas is a truly unique theatrical experience where psychological terror, grotesque beauty, and edgy humor collide to create a horror production like no other."

"A couple of stills (below) from the new show Urban Death, running at the Vegas Theatre Company just in time for...Halloween. It's a great mixture of horror, humor, sexy and shocking, rolled into a rapid fire series of vignettes that keep the audience...on its toes..."

"My inner geek finds the play particularly fascinating. Not just as perfect entertainment for Halloween (and it is very entertaining), but because of its brilliant manipulation of sensory and multi-sensory effects by its director and cast. As a scientist who dabbles in multi-sensory integration and sensory science, it's fascinating to watch the way the show so cleverly curates the audience's sensory experience..." - photographer Pete Foley

Show dates for URBAN DEATH VEGAS are October 10 - 12, 17 - 20, 24 - 26, at 7:30 p.m., and October 31 - November 2, at 7:30 p.m. The show is strictly for adults. Tickets start at $30 and can be purchased via this link. Vegas Theatre Company is located at 1025 S. 1st Street, #110.
