TOTALED: A FOLK ROCK THRILLER!!

“Totaled: A Folk Rock Thriller” is a musical with lyrics and book by January Eyler, with music and arrangements by Neil Mclinden. Paige Chambers stumbles back into her home town of Caelum Run and makes a deal with the towns Demon in exchange for the re-animation of her friends and her “peace”. In turn, she must kill the heir to the Redfield cult, Clay Redfield. An intense B-Movie horror inspired story accompanied by a stunning folk rock soundscape. Totaled is a treat for anyone who loves a horror musical set in a remote, rural Pennsylvania ghost town.

This is one of the first full productions of its kind to be produced, directed, written, and led by trans artists. It’s also one of the first albums to ever use an equitable payment model for cast recordings, which makes sure that all of the artists whose work is featured on the album gets paid in perpetuity! Every stream supports your favorite member of the cast and crew so if you'd like to passively support a bunch of awesome trans artists please stream our album!!

The cast album is available to be streamed right now and is embedded below with the proshot being slated for released later in april, our sizzle reels from the proshot are out and also embedded in the post below! Keep an eye on The Dunwich Dolls youtube channel for more updates, trailers and other fun content!!

We also have an official 4 panel comic series that has a bit more fun with the shows story and characters so if comics are more your speed please check out our fun little webtoon!!

Thanks again,

on returning home & moving forward

That rough draft you have, that stupid idea you had three years ago? That could alter someone’s brain chemistry. You could change the world.

You could change the world.

Please don’t give up. Please don’t stop writing. Please don’t stop drawing. Please don’t stop making music. Please don’t stop thinking those beautiful, terrifying thoughts that live inside your mind. Because you’re incredible.

And if some random guy waiting tables in SoHo can alter the minds of a nation, then why can’t you?

And don’t give me some crap about you being too old, either. He was in his thirties when RENT got its funding. He was dead before opening night.

Moral of the story is this; it’s never too late. Even after you’re gone, you will continue to change the world. You mean something, your art means something.

Congratulations on 30 years of RENT!!!

tried drawing a scene from la vie bohème
