Eldritch Theatre is pleased to share the bloodcurdling delights of its 26th season, filled with zombies, blood-sopped mayhem, and the Dread Necronomicon of the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred.

Doc Wuthergloom's Little Lib'ary of the Damned

October 30th – November 9th, 2025

On the fearsome eve of All Hallows, we offer the world premiere of Doc Wuthergloom’s Little Lib’ary of the Damned, running October 30-November 9, 2025. Armed with a caravan of creepy puppets and dark parlour magic, Toronto’s favourite itinerant exorcist returns to warn of the horrific dangers that lurk within the ancient forbidden books that line the shelves of his Little Lib’ary. Each tale is a fearful warning from the Goblin Universe, wrapped in impossible feats of magic that will warp your very sense of reality! But never fear! Doc Wuthergloom can save you, if only you purchase his Dread Grimoire Digest! Performed and created by Dr. Pretorious Wuthergloom with the assistance of Eric Woolfe, join us for fresh tales from Doc Wuthergloom’s worm-eaten tomes.

Dead of Winter

January 21st – 25th, 2026

In the darkest days of the new year, Eldritch Theatre and the Spindle Collective will join forces to produce the first-ever Dead of Winter: Toronto Horror Theatre Festival. Six original horrific productions will take over the Red Sandcastle Theatre from January 21-25, 2026. Join us as we appease the Elder Gods by staging nightmarish, dreadful, and uncanny works by Toronto artists. Audiences will have two opportunities to catch one of these new works by some of Toronto’s most exciting and wyrd, theatre artists.

Night at the Grand Guignol

February 18th – March 1st, 2026

Come with us, back in time, to a dingy theatre in Paris in the 1920s, as we present our version of the dangerous, blood-drenched, sexually depraved, harrowing horrors that entertained, scandalized, and petrified audiences at the fabled home of horror, Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, the First Theatre of Horrific Horror. From the ghastly mind of Eric Woolfe comes a scandalous reimagination of four classic horror plays originally produced in the infamous French theatre.. Running from February 18-March 1, 2026, and performed by the horrifying Mairi Babb, Natalie Bushnik, and Lisa Norton, with fiendish designs by Melanie McNeill, we strongly encourage audience members who are not dourly puritanical, timidly squeamish, or Victorian of heart.

Zombocalypse!

April 29th – May 10th, 2026

Eldritch Theatre’s final offering of the season is its largest production, like, ever. Presenting Zombocalypse!, in which the Dead rise from their graves to feast on the flesh of the living in a suburban high school in 1985. A jock, a brain, a rebel, a preppie and a basket-case barricade themselves in their school cafeteria to fend off the gathering hordes of their hungry, undead friends, only to discover that their real enemies are each other. It’s totally the Breakfast Club, but like with Zombies. Running from April 29-May 10, 2026, this undead production will rise with demonic directing from Ric Waugh, putrescent performances from Patrice Goodman, Craig Lauzon, Lisa Norton, Kimwun Perehinec, and Eric Woolfe, and devilishly delightful designs from Melanie McNeill.

Siofra

June 17th – 28th, 2026

Following the critical acclaim of spindle collective’s first work, SAMCA, comes a new dark folklore play by Natalia Bushnik and Kathleen Welch. síofra follows a newlywed couple in Belclare, Ireland, in the late 1800’s, and the tragedy that occurs when they build a home on a supposed ‘fairy mound’ underneath the famed Knockma Hill. Exploring the myth of Irish changelings, síofra is Act II of the ‘Dark Mother Trilogy’, a series of three horror-theatre plays exploring fertility and motherhood through the dark folklore of three different countries: Romania (SAMCA), Ireland (síofra), and Germany (spilleHOLLE). With an extremely talented ensemble cast and original music by Welch, join us at the foot of Knockma Hill, Ireland for a play that is both sinister and mysterious.
