I arrive in a quiet corner of Vegas at an unassuming warehouse. An Egan & Co Meat Products sign flashes against the night sky as a neon cleaver drops slowly toward the street below. I think to myself: could this really be the Saw Escape Room? No branding on the outside leads me to believe it […]
With immersive theater growing across the globe, Haunting had the unique opportunity to speak with Jay Kong of Illuthion, a leading immersive company founded in China. Read below for more information on Illuthion, China as an emerging immersive market, and some of the work they have produced. In your own words, what is […]
Once a year, around Halloween, a vortex forms near an eerie little movie rental shop called Horrorwood Video. If you are lucky enough to enter this void, you can live out the horror movies that you loved so dearly. But these aren’t your typical Friday the 13th films, rather, they are some of the darkest movies […]

A nervous energy fills the air, and I hold my breath in anticipation of what might appear out of the darkness next. […]
Now that Haunt Season is more or less behind us, we can start taking inventory of the various surprises that our favorite time of year brought.
