A history of Medusa, and basilisks, and cockatrices, and Baba Yaga, and other monsters that kill you by your merely looking at them! Learn the basilisk’s startling origin, Medusa’s remarkable transformation over the centuries, and much more besides! Plus jokes! And PowerPoint!

“Kill You As Soon As Look At You” is the eleventh installment of Monster Science First Thursdays - Reverend Matt’s Monster Sciences ongoing monthly show at the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater. Reverend Matt – once called a combination of David Attenborough and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark in MPR – played by local comedian Matthew Kessen, is the star of “Reverend Matt’s Monster Science” (‘part science, part comedy, all monsters’), a multimedia series of deep studies of the lore of monsters, infused with comedy jokes. It has won Best Solo Show at the Tucson Fringe Festival twice, and Best of Minnesota at the 2020 MN Webfest. And it’s been called “effective, educational, funny, moving” by Cherry and Spoon, and Single White Fringe Geek said of it, “I could not stop grinning the whole time Rev. Matt was talking.”
