You’ve seen the movies. Now survive the horror!

A killer is stalking the city of London, recreating the most infamous death scenes in slasher-movie history. 

Detective Megan Hudson isn’t interested in horror movies. She believes in evidence, facts and catching killers – not silly movie trivia.

Damian Douglas, a shy, gay writer with a love for slashers, notices something everyone else has missed: the murders aren’t random.

Thrown together against their will, Megan and Damian must decipher the killer’s twisted love letter to horror before it’s too late. But when the killer turns on them, they realise they’re no longer investigating the story. They’re trapped inside it.

Can they solve the case in time, or will they be left on… the cutting-room floor?

Camp, bloody, funny, queer… and packed with thrill!

Adam Hannigan is a Northern Irish writer and actor based in London. He first fell in love with the horror genre at the questionably young age of four, when he first watched Scream, and has been obsessed since. Adam is the founder of Ear to Ear Productions, where he writes and directs Queer comedy theatre, including his award-winning show Game Night. In 2024, he was also the winner of Sitcom Mission. A lifelong lover of both comedy and horror, Adam’s writing brings the two together with a distinctly Queer perspective. Whether it’s laughs, scares, or preferably both, he loves creating stories that put Queer characters at the centre of genres they haven’t always been allowed to own.
