Crossover with Rumors About a New Production of "Sleep No More"

One question that comes up a lot here at the Sleep No More Crossover Fan Fiction Blog is, "Will 'Sleep No More' ever be staged again?" And if so, will there be any changes to the show?

Well, we've done some digging regarding some possible changes, and have learned the following:

1. Taking more cues from the work of David Lynch, the Manderley Bar will have the Frank Booth character from "Blue Velvet" as its bartender. If you order a Heineken he will scream "Heineken! Fuck that shit!" and then hand you a Pabst Blue Ribbon. You will still be charged a Heineken price.

2. The rave scene will remain mostly unchanged, but it'll segue into "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison instead of "Moonlight Becomes You"

3. Mrs. Danvers is going to be joined by a "Task Force Housekeeping" crew that includes Mammy from "Gone with the Wind", Alice from "The Brady Bunch", Tony Micelli from "Who's the Boss", and Jarvis from the Avengers comic books. The five of them will join together, Voltron-like, to form Mr. Belvedere in one scene.

4. The Hamburgler is another new character. His one-on-one consists entirely of an audience member being dragged into a room while he whispers "Robble, robble, robble" in his or her ear. Also, if the audience member has any hamburgers on them then those hamburgers, it should go without saying, will be burgled.

5. One planned new room is called "Macbeth's Video Arcade", and in there you can play the arcade classics "Mousetrap" and "Cloak and Dagger" (you must provide your own quarters) - Macbeth has a fight with the Hamburgler in this room that is scored to "Pac-Man Fever"

6. The Speakeasy Bartender will do an impersonation of Redd Foxx from "Sanford and Son", and if she beats you at cards she calls you "Dummy" over and over until you leave. Additionally, some of the big scenes in this bar are now scored to the "Sanford and Son" theme. I know that sounds silly right now but I'm told it works BRILLIANTLY.

7. The Second Mrs. De Winter has a new one-on-one scene that consists of her reciting the speech Bill Pullman gives near the end of "Independence Day", and before she leads you out of the one-of-one she puts your mask on and whispers "Welcome to Earth" in your ear.

That's all we've heard so far. It sounds pretty exciting!

Crossover with Kathy Acker's "Blood and Guts in High School"

So the swallows...

So the swallows came back to Capistrano, whispering of their own events, fluttering loudly over Lady Macbeth's grave in the grey Saba Pacha cemetery in Manderley.

Soon many other Lady Macbeths were born and these Lady Macbeths covered the earth.

Blood and guts in an abandoned school
That is all I know
Witches teachers MacDuffs
All have got to go

Some folks like plots,
Yet, here's a spot!
I like the way you move your hips
All I want is a taste of your lips,
boy,
And for you to murder Duncan so I can be Queen of Everything
