Praise for Thrillpeddlers:

"If you thought Sweeney Todd was creepy, wait until you see the work of Thrillpeddlers."
-- Robert Viagas, PLAYBILL

"Never mind the Castro -- the best Halloween experience this year is at the Exit. There, the Thrillpeddlers celebrate the holiday in gruesome style with three scintillating adaptations from the Grand Guignol."
-- Joe Mader, SF WEEKLY

"Shocktoberfest!! has become one of my favorite events of the Halloween season, which is saying a lot in this October-loving town."
-- Silke Tudor, SF WEEKLY

"There are times, we admit, when, weary of the virtuous boredom of the serious theater, and oppressed by the shrillness of new voices on the fringe – which, like all newly born voices, seem capable only of screaming – we want to see a play that is hilarious without apology, and appeals to our other, more animal instincts. In such cases, nothing could be better than the two short plays in Thrillpeddlers' Shocktoberfest."
-- Amir Shadi, THEATREWORLD

"The most remarkable feat of the production was the way it was able to move fairly swiftly between laughter-producing and horror-producing moments in a way that would have seemed impractical to this reviewer if he had not witnessed it himself. The humorous moments were all created by the resonance of the action on stage with the well-known and well-loved clichés of horror fiction, whereas the moments of genuine horror were brought about by the penetration of the audience’s defenses against the unthinkable."
-- John Harvey, SOMA Magazine
