Australian playwright and Fangoria contributor Lee Gambin talks to about his brand new rock ‘n’ roll horror musical set to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public this Halloween….

How did you come to write “Oh The Horror!”? How was it conceived?

“Oh The Horror!” came from my absolute pure love for horror movies and the monsters that inhabit them. It also came from my obsession with musical theatre. I wanted to create a fun, bloody, irreverent and also heartfelt show that embraces the monster and sympathizes with the misfit. There’s something absolutely magical and comforting in the misunderstood creatures that have graced the silver screen from day one and to bring an ensemble of them together in a musical excites me and overwhelms me with sentimentality.

Stage Fright: The Grand-guignol And The Popularity Of Horror

This intriguing, dark, and sexy short stars actress Marion Cotillard, who won an Oscar for embodying Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. I couldn’t help wondering if Vanity Fair had anything to do with Dior’s choice of Cotillard for its leading lady: she was photographed reviving the infamous shower scene in Hitchcock’s thriller Psycho for the March 2008 Hitchcock-themed Hollywood portfolio. »
