Beckoning shadows of circus folk flashed across the walls within the Electro Cinema.
They stepped out of celluloid into a world of moisture and saliva. Two strange and eerie figures silhouetted in the half-light of a street lamp on a cold and rainy night in Chain Lane running parallel to Hope Street. The night travellers… leaving a trail of damage and sorrow wherever they perform. And always in the dead of night.
“Would you like a ticket for the travelling show, my dear?”, the Ghostmaker asked of a nervous, shivering, woman waiting for the late bus, “Every young person’s dream!”
“Perhaps she’d like to join the show instead?”, suggested the Ghostmaker’s shimmering female companion, tasting the dew clinging to their first victim’s hair.
“Why not?”, the Ghostmaker added, as though the thought had never crossed his mind, “You could travel with us… forever!!”
And, having selected a waitress as their second victim, the Ghostmaker’s accomplice proffered a peculiar request of her master, “Make her cry… I want to drink her tears!”
“From Out of the Rain” was wickedly acted by Julian Bleach and Camilla Power, malevolently directed by Jonathan Fox Bassett and sinisterly written by Peter J. Hammond.
“Come along now, ladies and gentlemen, the night won’t wait forever!”, touted the Ghostmaker, “Come and see the amazing Pearl. She lives in water. She sleeps among the waves. She can reach the bottom of the oceans. She has swum the seven seas. She is the nearest thing that you will ever see… to a living… mermaid. She… will… take your breath… away.”
