Jakop Ahlbom creates with Horror a magical world rarely seen in theater.

An old house is plagued by a tragic family history. The youngest sister has escaped, but what happened to the eldest sister? When she returns to her family home years later, she is confronted with a repressed past. The only way to survive is to face the horrific truth.

Jakop Ahlbom creates with Horror a magical world rarely seen in theater. Ten years ago, he took on the challenge of translating the cinematic effects of horror into a theatrical experience. Since its premiere in 2014, the show has been an international hit, attracting over 200,000 visitors worldwide. Now, this audience favorite is returning for a Dutch anniversary tour and for the third time to the Wilminktheater in Enschede!

Jakop Ahlbom has been fascinated by horror films since a young age. “As a teenager, I devoured every horror film I could find. I enjoyed the absurd fantasy, the special effects, the extremity of the events, the dark unknown, and the adrenaline rush they bring. Additionally, I was intrigued by the black humor in the films, the slapstick used, and the surreal imagination that is both fascinating and frightening.”
