He'd choose creepy tricks and return-of-the-dead patter and the show would climax with him producing a monster, like a mummy, who would stagger into the audience as the lights went out. All the teenagers would clutch their dates and scream and giggle,&quot; he adds, &quot;and take advantage of the darkness to have a great time.&quot; This is the Teller's description of the Midnight Spook Shows that served to inspire he, Todd Robbins and Johnny Thompson as they collaborated to deliver the off-Broadway production, &quot;Play Dead.&quot; Somehow, magic and mystery are combined to bring joy to the audience by scaring them to death and we talk about how that's possible!
