This episode of Cinema Junkie serves up a Halloween Double Dare, playwright Michael Mizerany and I dare you to listen to a pair of his one-act horror plays. So turn out the lights, put on some headphones and enjoy an audio treat while sheltering at home this Halloween.

Please note the plays contain explicit language and mature content.

"Johnny and Babs Versus the Apocalypse" by Michael Mizerany

Babs: Sydney Joyner

Johnny: Marc Caro

Stage Directions: David Janisch

Inspired by the film "Night Of The Living Dead," "Johnny and Babs Versus the Apocalypse" chronicles a terror-filled evening replete with COVID chaos, civil unrest, flesh eating zombies. and sibling bickering.

"Die Already!" by Michael Mizerany

Branigan: Tyler Lloyd

Chase: Quincy Bazen

Jordan: Kevin Phan

Gary: SeeJay Lewis

Stage Directions: David Janisch

A spoof of every horror film ever made where the killer just won’t stay dead, "Die Already!" tells the bloody tale of a one-night stand gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Music for both plays was composed by Phil Nenna, who also created the Cinema Junkie theme music.
