Little Shop of Horrors Live Shadowcast Explained at Popcorn Frights 2026
What is a shadow cast? FlickDirect's Allison Rose sits down with Erynn Dalton of Infinite Abyss Productions at the 2026 Popcorn Frights Film Festival to explore the art of live shadowcasting through a special presentation of Little Shop of Horrors.
Dalton explains how shadow casts work, the fast rehearsal process, creating props and costumes on a limited budget, and why the group chose to perform only the film's musical numbers. She also discusses Infinite Abyss Productions' experience with shadowcasting, including Repo! The Genetic Opera, and what she hopes first-time audiences discover from the experience.
The conversation also touches on the connection between shadowcasting and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the creativity that comes with low-budget live performance, and Dalton's excitement for the 2026 Popcorn Frights Film Festival.
