What I liked

I enjoyed being introduced to the different devices to communicate with the dead and the demonstration of them.

loved the details of the props (the old phone, the clock, the crocheted throw over the table) all things a grandma would actually have

Use of creepy gma’s silouhette was very effective

wanted to hear even more about the little alien/elf man

What I didn't like

n/a

My overall impression

I highly recommend this entertaining, spooky and hilarious show. Jon Schnitzer is a gifted comedian regaling us with tales of some seriously scary stuff while also throwing in some bangin’ one-liners: scary kids with crayons! (You have to hear it from his mouth to get the joke). Schnitzer deftly guides us from the funny stuff into the dark and back out again while losing nothing in the way of creepiness. I screamed a couple of times and I got so spooked that twice I accidentally reached out and grabbed the arms of the people (strangers) sitting next to me. He got me. Jon Schnitzer f*ng got me!
