Strangeloop, C.I.C. bring you horror with a dose of humor this Halloween season

This fall enter a world filled with things so evil and crazy that when you shoot them, they stand up to get shot all over again.

Join Strangeloop Theatre and Chemically Imbalanced Comedy as we bring Tim Seeley’s horror comedy series Hack/Slash from the 2D comic book page to a 3D Chicago stage.

Hack/Slash is the story of horror victim survivor Cassie Hack who, together with her disfigured sidekick Vlad, travels the country (and sometimes the underworld) fighting evil slashers who refuse to just lay down and die even after being burned, impaled and shot 20 times.

“This production will appeal to hardcore fans of the comic book series, while still being accessible to theatre-goers coming in with little to no knowledge of Hack/Slash or Tim Seeley,” said Brad Gunter, Hack/Slash director and co-artistic director of Strangeloop Theatre. “It promises to be a bloody good time — pun totally intended — for everyone who joins us.”

Seeley is best known as co-creator of Hack/Slash and Revival, and for his work on G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, New Exiles and G.I. Joe vs. Transformers. He also currently co-writes the weekly series Batman: Eternal for DC Comics.

The cast of Hack/Slash is: Jean E. Burr as Cassie Hack; Tim Lee as Vlad; Miona Lee as Emily Cristy and Erika Napoletano, Christopher Prchal, Pete Navi, Richard John McLain, John Rohr, Melissa Nelson, Kara Charlton and Renee Lynn Jackson as the ensemble.

Hack/Slash runs 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays from September 12 to November 1, 2014. Please note there is no performance on Friday, September 19. Tickets are $15 and available on Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/828976
