With Evil Dead inching it’s way toward Broadway, The Fly being prepped for an opera and Young Frankenstein set to take over for The Producers this year, adaptations of genre favourites for the theatre are getting out of control. Even the Horror Roundtable got into the act. The Lancaster Online considers a few more examples of this trend that I haven’t touched on, and asks the staff what they believe would make a good Broadway musical.

“‘Cujo’ as a musical would be funny. But, like, there shouldn’t be a guy in a dog suit. They could use a slide projector to show fangs and claws, maybe across the windshield of the car the mother and son are trapped in. That would be much scarier than a guy in a dog suit.”

Is it wrong that I would pay a scalper good money to catch Cujo - The Musical? I still regret never getting the chance to attend Carrie.
