Please, Kill mr. kinski!
An immersive theatrical game
Made by party people for other party people
You are invited to the set of nosferatu: the vampyre: the musical
In a beautiful chalet on the top of a mountain, a film crew’s patience wears dangerously thin. At its center stands legendary madman Klaus Kinski, whose private torments have brought production to a standstill.
As Klaus rages on the piano deep into the night, guests find themselves entangled in increasingly intricate quests to get the production back on track — or, when the last thread of civility snaps, murder the man who’s keeping them all there.
You'll take on the role of a member of the film crew and play a game that evokes the chaotic cabin-fever excitement of a film set, with all its drama and disaster.

— Klaus Kinski

Kinski was a German actor famous for terrorizing film sets with depraved outbursts of manic rage. He was so difficult to work with that multiple film crews considered killing him during production. On Crawlspace, the producer made a plan to murder him for the insurance money. After Fizcarraldo, Werner Herzog tried to firebomb Kinski’s house, but was thwarted by Kinski’s German Shepherds.
