Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre Group will present They Fondle the Bones of the Dead, an evening of two tales of terror, on Monday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at its North Hollywood home.

Written and directed by Sharon Yablon and Matthew Tyler Vorce, the intimate production stars Lisa Denke, Vorce, and Sammie Forsey. The company bills the show as an evening to “gather ’round” for, and the small-house setting suits the campfire-style storytelling. Photography for the production is by Kevin O’Sullivan.

There are two performances each night, at 8:00 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., and the run is limited to those two dates. The production is recommended for ages 16 and older, as it contains strong language and scary, mature themes. The theater is wheelchair accessible.

Zombie Joe’s Underground, the long-running Los Angeles-area home of live horror on stage, is also the force behind the annual Urban Death haunted theater attraction, making this a good Halloween-season stop for anyone who likes their scares live and up close.

They Fondle the Bones of the Dead plays at ZJU Theatre Group, 4850 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, California 91601. Tickets are $20 in advance at ZombieJoes.TIX.com or $25 at the door. More information is at zombiejoes.com and urbandeath.com.
