July 30, 2025• byMichael Strangeways

From the team that has brought us such theatrical delights as the Ms Pak-Man cabaret shows and the annual winter holiday show, “Scott Shoemaker’s War on Inflation er, Christmas” comes a brand new stage piece sure to become part of our Halloween month entertainment traditions…it’s the big announcement that Scott Shoemaker and Freddie Molitch’s UNCLE BASEMENT’S ATTIC OF HORRORS! will take over the Theatre Off Jackson in the International District for THREE NIGHTS ONLY from October 23 through the 25th!

Now we have something to get excited about for the future….hurray!

From the creators of Scott Shoemaker’s War on Christmas and Ms. Pak-Man comes “Uncle Basement’s Attic of Horrors!” A new Halloween variety spooktacular! Let your phantasmic host, Uncle Basement, guide you through his haunted theatre and introduce you to all the ghastly ghosts that grace its spectral stage. The spirits will kill you with comedy! Scare you with songs! Bedevil you with dance! Plus, he’ll introduce you to his favorite horror films and creature features that are guaranteed to make you scream with laughter!
Starring Freddy Molitch, Scott Shoemaker, Major Scales and Princess Charming, just to name a few! More cast announcements coming soon!
3 nights only! Join us…if you dare!

You can snag tickets for this new show at https://www.shoesandpants.com/ where they also have tickets on sale for Scott Shoemaker’s War on Christmas happening throughout much of December and also at the Theatre Off Jackson.

Other shows I’m hoping to see go on sale soon:

Scott Shoemaker’s War on The Capital Gains Tax
Ms Pak-Man vs The Legend of Zelda Rubenstein!
What’s The Big Deal About Easter?
The Funny Smells Show!
Ms Pak-Man’s War on Sobriety

and the one I’m most excited about: Auntie Climax’s Spare Bedroom of Junk We Can’t Seem To Get Rid Of! It’ll be terrifying! So many DVDs we haven’t watched in decades! So many Bonne Maman jelly jars we can’t bear to part with because they might come in handy one day!!!!
