Are you ready for a night of fright?
Stop All The Downloadin' Productions and the Finn-Brit Players are dying with excitement to bring to you Macabre Morsels, an evening of four original English-language one-act plays and a never-before-seen illusion.
Why is an FBI agent interrogating a man dressed as Santa Claus? Would you like to be haunted? Is there anything that can’t be turned into a sitcom? Why are first impressions so deadly important? Believe me, you’ll be horrified to find out.

Halloween is the last night that Detective Jerry Vance wants to be spending holed up with some costumed idiot. But he has little choice when the FBI make requests.

Will the truth be more terrifying than either she or Jerry could ever imagine? Is there a hidden, darker side to Santa Claus.
