The Haunting

Kentucky Shakespeare is bringing back their Halloween tradition with a special theatrical premiere this October. This production marks the first U.S. showing of Hugh Janes' atmospheric play, which draws inspiration from the ghost stories of Charles Dickens. The show blends classic Victorian horror elements into a genuinely spooky experience—expect chills and thrills as the story unfolds on stage. This is genuinely eerie theater rather than family-friendly Halloween fun, so it's better suited for older kids and adults who enjoy a good scare. Performances run at two different times to give families options, and tickets are $30 per person. The show takes place at Kentucky Shakespeare's Headquarters location in the historic Old Louisville neighborhood. If you're looking for a theatrical treat that leans toward the darker side of Halloween entertainment, this premiere offers something different from typical seasonal fare.
