Play Script

The (Completely Inaccurate) Legend of the Mummy Witch House

by Hillary DePiano

The best scary stories are the ones that are at least partly true…

(This isn’t one of those stories.)

Three urban explorers venture into a haunted house to find proof of a legend, but when they come face-to-face with the creepy place’s real residents, they’re not quite what the trio expected. Turns out, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction–and way more fun.

  • Comedy 10 – 15 minutes
  • 3 f, 4 e (6-12 actors possible: 3-12 f, 0-12 m)
  • Set: Minimal, suggesting an old house.

This play can also be performed as a standalone or as part of the full-length play Scared Silly.
