For our fourth and final spooky Spooktoberfest episode, we're joined IN PERSON (much to the detriment of the audio quality) by Barney Newman to stage the Disney Original Halloweentown. Well I say stage... it becomes more of an immersive experience slash club night with Halloweentown themes... strap in for a very very silly one.

For our third instalment of Spooktoberfest, we're joined by Will Foxton to stage the iconic Aussie horror flick The Babadook. We discuss how much this film scared Caleb; the lasting impact of the Babadook as a gay icon; and how to genuinely make the most of this beautiful story about grief as we bring it into a theatrical space. We also tackle the logistical challenge of a young boy being thrown around the stage and a small dog that has to be murdered every night.

This week we're joined by actor and puppeteer Fred Davis to discuss the British cult-classic Shaun of the Dead. We deconstruct the first of the Cornetto Trilogy turning it from a zombie-movie-pastiche into a meta-play about grief and remembering loved ones. Safe to say, we didn't even try to stay on the rails with this one.

We are back and it's Spooktoberfest! For our first spoooooky episode we're joined by Dan Dawes, artistic director of Idle Discourse to discuss the iconic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Dan brings us four entirely different ideas at completely different scales and Jake insists on finding a way to mash them all together. It just about works!

This week we're joined by Writer and Director James Nash to stage the "found-footage" sci-fi cult classic Cloverfield. We ask some big questions: what does it mean to create "found-footage" theatre? How do you put a giant monster on stage? Would Adam Curtis be willing to get involved? And we basically come up with an answer for all of them.

This week we're joined by actor, member of sketch comedy group Quirks and Foibles, and recently announced host of the Chichester Free Fringe, Katie Bennett!

And it's a doozie, because we discuss staging Inside No. 9 Episode 'The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge'! We wax lyrical about the show we're all huge fans of, talk about how we'd stage the series in general, and then dive into the episode, in which two of England's most notorious and feared witch-finders are summoned by Sir Andrew Pike to the unassuming village of Little Happens in order to try a defenceless old woman.... but as always, there's a twist!

We talk about creative ways to do a costume change, reviving repatory theatre, and the place of the audience in a trial play.

This week we're joined by fellow podcasters Nancy Netherwood and Sam Webber from the Play Ground Theatre Podcast to discuss staging The Wicker Man (1973). Things get weird as we take on this folk-horror-musical-cult-classic that stars Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland. The film follows puritan Police Sergeant Howie from mainland Scotland as he arrives on a strange island to investigate the disappearance, and possible murder, of a young girl. It's May Day on this pagan isle and Sergeant Howie's case heats up as he faces down The Wicker Man. We talk the possibility of this show as an immersive, touring, outdoor musical, with community actor-musicians, and using the setting of heritage sites. May contain nudity.

You can find the 'Play Ground Theatre Podcast' on twitter @playgroundpoddy or listen to them wherever you get your podcasts.
