Scripts Gone Wild – Barbara Crampton Taking Part in Live Reading of ‘Creepshow’ Movie Script!

After an almost three-year hiatus from live performances due to the ongoing pandemic, Bloody Disgusting has learned that Scripts Gone Wild returns to El Cid on Sunset on August 24th at 7pm with a reading of the Stephen King horror classic, Creepshow (1982)!

Once referred to as “LA’s best kept secret”, Scripts Gone Wild had been performing virtual reads throughout the pandemic before taking time to regroup and finalize its 501(c)3 non-profit status. CREEPSHOW is the first in a new series of quarterly performances at El Cid, each one benefiting a different charitable organization.

Headlining the read are horror legend BARBARA CRAMPTON (Re-Animator, You’re Next); star of the Sniper franchise, CHAD MICHAEL COLLINS; Mystery Science Theatre 3000’s JONAH
RAY and DEANNA ROONEY; and KIRK THATCHER, the director of Muppets Haunted Mansion. Rounding out the cast are Scripts Gone Wild favorites AARON LAPLANTE (Primal), RICO E. ANDERSON (Truth Be Told), and FRANK DIETZ (Black Roses, Zombie Nightmare).

More casting will be announced closer to the performance date.

“We couldn’t be more excited to return to live performances,” said Scripts Gone Wild Artistic Director, Billy Ray Brewton. “Our virtual reads were such an amazing way to stay connected with and grow our audience during the pandemic, but so much of what we’re known for really only translates with a live audience.”

Brewton went on to say: “We learned a lot over the pandemic and have honed the Scripts Gone Wild experience for our audiences.”

The charity being supported by this performance is National Multiple Sclerosis Society, dedicated to curing MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the charity. Scripts Gone Wild will receive any donations at the event, and sales from limited edition t-shirts that will be available for purchase.

Tickets can be purchased on the official Scripts Gone Wild website.
