This is not a haunted house. Well, technically, it could be — especially after all the murders that will take place this weekend. The Gulfport Murder House (formerly known as Read No More) isn't a haunted house in the sense you may think, but there's plenty on tap to scare you.

In a haunted house, you wander through at will. At the Gulfport Murder House, tours will lead you past murders — each murder is its own super-short play, all from local writers. The writers — Deborah Frethem, Erika Lance and K.L. Nappier — all crafted stories of murder throughout the decade, and on each tour (they run at 6, 7, 8 and 9 p.m. nightly), Murder House visitors get to witness them all.

Lucky you. Or, eh, unlucky, as it were. Tickets available in advance, which we suggest as last year the crowds were sizable.
