What I liked
Jon’s show unites the audience through laughter and screams and a shared wonder of the unknown. The stories have a depth and a warmth to them that was very personal and loving. It is rare to experience storytelling that is equal parts funny, spooky, and poignant, but Something Spooky does it! I also loved all the special fx and props, we were really immersed in the world of the stories through a simply phone ring, a light switching off, a shadow on the wall. Hilarous, poignant, spooky as hell.
What I didn't like
I just wanted it to go on longer!!!
My overall impression
THIS SHOW IS SO SPOOKY! AND SO GOOD! I screamed at least three times in a row! Other horror shows may have jump scares and high tension moments, but do they SUMMON REAL SPIRITS?! Something Spooky does! What sets Jon’s show apart is his comedic genius which has you exploding with laughter, his heartfelt personal connection to the stories, which speak to what unites us across difference, and his masterful storytelling, which has you holding your breath and your hairs raised on edge. Jon’s is like a horror shaman mixed with late night talk show host mixed with the nerdy kid next door. It’s such a thrill to behold!
