A Horror-Lit Open Mic Series

Dare to share your darkest stories.

On October 16 the shadows come alive and the mic goes cold. Fright Lines invites writers, poets, and fearless fans of the macabre to a weekly open mic series that celebrates the terrifying, the twisted, and the uncanny. Each night, we gather at a different haunted (or just haunting) venue to share original horror-themed works—and maybe raise a few goosebumps.

Whether you’ve got bone-chilling flash fiction, a nightmare-inducing poem, or a tale that keeps you up at night, this is your chance to let it out… before it eats you alive.

WHEN

October 16, 6-8 PM
Signups are on site a half hour before the open mic begins. Check the schedule below for complete details.

WHAT TO BRING

5 minutes of original work

A willingness to be haunted

A friend to clutch during the scary parts (optional… but encouraged)

Open to All!

First-timers, seasoned writers, and horror-lovers welcome. Signups happen on site. First come, first scream.

This open mic is a haven for horror lovers, storytellers, and creepy creatives of all kinds. We welcome monsters, misfits, and ghost-story geeks, but we do not welcome hate. All performers and listeners are expected to treat each other with respect and keep the space free from discriminatory, derogatory, or harmful speech or behavior. We’re here for chills, not cruelty. Violators will be shown the door… and possibly fed to something lurking in the basement.
