If you've ever seen a broadway play, or even just gone down to the local theater to catch Jesus Christ Superstar - the first time you go you're amazed at how it all comes to life around you.  You get drawn into a story more than you ever could with a movie.  Makes you wonder what it would be like to see horror on-stage.  Well if you're in the Las Vegas area, you may get the chance to see Wes Craven's Magick Macabre - a Vegas stage show mixing both horror and magic.  Blood in the playhouse is an excellent idea that will definitely sell.  Here's more on the project, as reported by Sci-Fi Wire...

Filmmaker Wes Craven (Scream) told fans at WonderCon in San Francisco that he's writing Wes Craven's Magick Macabre, a Las Vegas stage show that will mix magic and horror. "It is a bloody magic show for an 1,800-seat theater in Las Vegas," Craven said in a panel at the comic-book convention over the weekend. "The producer of Riverdance [John McColgan], who bought [the rights to] ... a very bloody, scary magical magic show in Dublin [featuring] a young magician, ... hired me to write a story, which I did. And I'm very excited about it."

Craven, who was promoting his upcoming mutant horror movie The Hills Have Eyes, added that the Vegas show will feature production design by Mark Fisher, the Cirque du Soleil designer who also put together the Rolling Stones' Super Bowl halftime show and Pink Floyd's "Off the Wall" tour. "He brought in the guy [David Mendoza] who designed all of the illusions for Siegfried & Roy and put all of us into a room together, and we came up with [these] really terrific, scary, bloody, crazy ideas that we're going to do for a big show to play in Vegas to scare the pants off of everybody."

Craven offered no further details as to where or when the show might appear.
