A grim warning A grim warning

of the dangers lurking within the forbidden books in an exorcist’s personal library.

Doc Wuthergloom’s Little Lib’ary of the Damned

From Thursday, October 30 to Sunday, November 9, 2025 – Eldritch Theatre opens their 2025-26 season of sundry horrors and night terrors with Doc Wuthergloom’s Little Lib’ary of the Damned at Red Sandcastle Theatre. Armed with a caravan of creepy puppets and dark parlour magic, Toronto’s favourite itinerant exorcist returns to warn us all of the horrific dangers that lurk within the pages of the ancient forbidden books that line the shelves of his Little Lib’ary.

Step right up & be terrified & amazed – there’s room for one more!

GASP at the terrifying tales of The Brazen Head and the Mad Pharaoh Nefram Ka!

SHUDDER as incantations from cursed grimoires raise demons and bring carousels to life!

QUAKE WITH HORROR as Demented Elder Gods bring ironic punishments to the foolish, innocent and unwary!

 

Each tale is a fearful warning from the Goblin Universe, wrapped in impossible feats of magic that will warp your very sense of reality! But never fear! Doc Wuthergloom can save you, if only you purchase his Dread Grimoire Digest.

Created and performed by Dr. Pretorious Wuthergloom, with the assistance of Eric Woolfe, and featuring Paula Schultz.

“Eric Woolfe is one of the city’s genuine, gloriously obsessive originals. No other local theatre company has as completely-defined an aesthetic as his Eldritch Theatre, which specializes in imaginative, lo-fi, old-school horror and mystery stories, with puppetry and a bit of magic thrown into the mix.”
