The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) digital arts department has announced its annual Horror Nights production, featuring this year’s theme: “Myths and Magic: Tales from the Edge of Reality.”

This immersive, mythological horror show will take place over two nights — Oct. 27 and Oct. 29 — inside the Black Box Theater at Coronado High School. Doors open each night at 6 p.m.

This year, the student creators are blurring the lines between ancient folklore and modern nightmares.

Horror Nights, now in its 17th year, is a much-loved digital arts tradition. Since horror night occurs in October, students are tasked with beginning their projects as soon as they start school. They begin with sketches and brainstorming, then they storyboard, film, animate, or begin to design in Illustrator or Photoshop in anticipation of their show.

The event is recommended for middle school aged children or older. Concessions will also be available for sale.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, staff, seniors and military and are on sale at www.cosasandiego.com or can be purchased prior to each performance.
