LA area zombie lovers, take note! Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group in North Hollywood, California, has a new play on the horizon entitled Attack of the Rotting Corpses that has your names all over it!

We've been talking about Carrie the Musical for quite some time here on Dread Central, and with its premiere date of January 31st creeping up on us, the MCC Theater has dropped some eye candy and more!

Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group in North Hollywood, California, has a new play on the horizon which promises lots of our favorite things: love, lust, blood, and betrayal. How can we resist Joe Musso's Blood Water, running Friday nights at 11:00 PM from January 27-February 24, 2012?

One of our New Year's resolutions here at Dread Central is to get out and see more live productions during the new year. If you happen to live in or around Los Angeles, you can join us and visit Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group in North Hollywood, California. Starting January 13th and running through February 11th will be the Group's newest production: Vanessa Cate’s Absolute Black, a 1940’s film noir-inspired thriller.

With performances beginning on January 31, 2012, it was inevitable that word would start trickling out regarding the final casting lineup for Carrie, the newly reworked and re-imagined production of the short-lived 1988 Broadway musical being performed at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Today we bring you the full cast and crew for director Stafford Arima's Carrie, which opens officially on March 1st.

Live in or around Los Angeles and think all things dark and spooky are ending once Halloween 2011 has been marked off the calendar? Well then, you've obviously never visited Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group in North Hollywood, California. Starting November 12th and running through December 10th will be the Group's newest production: Hosea Nova: A Jealous and Violent Man.

It's not quite Halloween 2011 yet, but if you live in the Houston, Texas, area, you just might want to mark your calendars for the 2012 Halloween season, as that's when a new stage production of Frankenstein will be hitting the Country Playhouse. Phil Nichols will be acting as both designer and director for the play, and he's provided us with a sneak peek of some of his pre-production concept art.

Planning to be in or around the LA area this Halloween season and looking for something new and different to put you in the holiday spirit? How about taking in a performance of Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado on Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group stage in North Hollywood, California?

Just the other day we brought you a look at the poster art for the Alliance Theatre's presentation of the stage production of the Stephen King/John Mellencamp collaboration Ghost Brothers of Darkland County in Atlanta, Georgia, and now we have a teaser trailer to share. You can catch this blues-tinged show from April 4-May 13, 2012.

Sometimes patience does indeed pay off as those who have been waiting since 2008 to see the stage production of the Stephen King/John Mellencamp collaboration Ghost Brothers of Darkland County can finally see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. It won't be fully glowing until spring of 2012, but at least some light is better than none. And we've even got a nice look at the official poster for you today!

We love movies here at Dread Central, but nothing beats the live theatre experience, and Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group in North Hollywood, California, is one of our favorites. Few theatre groups cater to the horror crowd like they do, and we're happy to pass on some information about two of their upcoming plays.

They're all gonna sing with you! They're all gonna sing with you! They're all gonna sing with you! And they will too if they know what's good for them. That's right, kids! Carrie: The Musical is returning to the New York stage and we've got all the info for you!

And here we go again. Carrie the Musical is returning to the New York stage, this time Off Broadway at the MCC Theater with preview performances set to begin on January 31, 2012. Director Stafford Arima has overhauled the 1988 version with its original creators, with the book (then and now) by Lawrence D. Cohen, music by Michael Gore, and lyrics by Dean Pitchford.

Another very cool sounding play is heading to the Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group stage in North Hollywood, California, later this month: Hamlet, Prince of Darkness, written by Richard Nathan and directed by Denise Devin.
