Synopsis
On a dark and stormy Halloween night (omg, so cliché, right?!?), two characters—victims of the "bury your gays" trope, both—have come to life and are out for bloody revenge on their author/father. But the unexpected arrival of a fourth character leads to events none of them could have planned.

Reviews and Recommendations
“Deliciously witty, twisting, and bloody, Bavoso’s play is a perfect short for the spooky season. Come for the frights, stay for the articulate critique of tired, disrespectful tropes, and trust in the electrifying ride Bavoso’s penned. The ending, in particular, is a brilliant touch, genuinely surprising, but not so shocking as to feel unearned. Wonderful work.” — Daniel Prillaman
