The Ghost Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore is a 2016 British portmanteau horror play, bringing to the theatre the flavour of vintage Amicus film anthologies such as Tales from the Crypt and Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors. The Bad Bat production, produced by Ellen Gallagher and Steve Jordan, is presented from 7 – 19 March at the Tristan Bates Theatre, London.
The play features segments written by authors Christopher Fowler, Stephen Gallagher, Kim Newman, Robert Shearman, Lynda E. Rucker and Lisa Tuttle, alongside a wraparound story by director Sean Hogan.
