Babes, blades and horror. What more do you need?

Chicago's own all-female combat troupe mixes violence with pure, unadulterated estrogen. This time out, the Babes are sharpening their blades on the chillingly weird work of playwright/author/off-kilter media emperor Darren Callahan. "Horror Academy" is an environmental presentation of three scenes and five monologues. Vampires, zombies and cannibals are usually the stuff of Halloween camp, but Callahan's skewed perspective and the Babes' go-for-broke physicality should give this outing some genuine scares.
