    Finale Announcement

    After three years of sharing fun frights and scares, Monsters Out of the Closet is coming to an end. With our Season 3 finale quickly approaching, we can now confirm that our next episode, LOST, will be our last planned episode. By the time that episode drops, there will be new information on our website about merchandise and other ways you can help us preserve this project, but right now we want to thank you for being a part of this project, whether you’ve written a piece on the show, performed for us, or just listened to our little show. Without you, none of this would have been possible. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming finale.
    Love,
    Nicole, Shriya, and Taara
