Six Flags Magic Mountain - Fright Fest Extreme 2024 - Theme Park - Haunted House - Maze - Santa Clarita CA

Fright Fest 2024 Unveils 5 Movie Mazes

September 17, 2024 By Taylor Winters In Fright Fest, Review, Theme Parks & Installations No Comments

Last year, we deemed Six Flags Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest as the best experience in its thirty years of operation. Yet, after attending Fright Fest 2024, we are happy to admit that they have once again surpassed the bar they set in 2023. Incorporating Intellectual Property into their mazes has always been a barrier that [...]

American Contemporary Ballet Jazz - Performance Theater - Los Angeles CA

American Contemporary Ballet Jazz Unites Big Band with an Experiential Evening

March 12, 2024 By Taylor Winters In American Contemporary Ballet, Review No Comments

It’s no surprise that American Contemporary Ballet is our favorite dance company we’ve experienced, as we’ve sung their praises in the past with The Nutcracker Suite, Burlesque and Inferno, Homecoming, and Astaire Dances. We describe them as not your mother’s ballet, and while I have brought my own Mom to ACB’s ballet before, this is [...]

The Fear Experiment 2023 – A Bedtime Stories Review

November 16, 2023 By Sam Giacinto In Extreme Haunts, Immersive Horror, Out of State Haunts, Review, The Fear Experiment No Comments

I was going to do an in-depth review of the The Fear Experiment 2023 show Bedtime Stories, but there is not much more that I can add that hasn’t already been said in the last review. As with all of these types of experiences, it is personal. You end up walking away with a new [...]

La Casa de Satanas 2023 - Ur F*@cking Hysterical Oh boy where do we begin with this show? La Casa de Satanas 2023 show Ur F*cking Hysterical is different, scary, disturbing, funny, and all around just good ol’ fashioned fun. I participated on one of the extra extreme nights. Here we are in Chicago. Parking [...]

MacDevitt Manor 2023 Creates a Ghastly Midnight Circus in West Covina

November 6, 2023 By Taylor Winters In Home Haunts, MacDevitt Manor, Review No Comments

MacDevitt Manor 2023 - Midnight Circus Last year, MacDevitt Manor created an entire witch’s grotto that amazed us—and we knew we had to make the drive out this year. Replacing the witchy theme is Midnight Circus, a clown infested sideshow filled with manic laughter, demonic clowns, and creatures hidden in the depth of the dark. [...]

Fairbrook Manor 2023 - Home Haunt - Long Beach CA

Fairbrook Manor 2023 Survives another Halloween to Haunt Long Beach

November 6, 2023 By Taylor Winters In Fairbrook Manor, Home Haunts, Review No Comments

Fairbrook Manor 2023 Fairbrook Manor is a favorite of ours, a local home haunt in the Los Altos neighborhood, doing what they do to support the Long Beach Rescue Mission. But while Fairbrook Manor 2023 only wanted to support a great cause, the city of Long Beach shut them down early in their run, citing [...]

Prism Haunt 2023 - Monstrous Meltdown - Hallloween Yard Display - Mission Viejo CA

Monstrous Meltdown by Prism Haunt 2023 Restores the Magic of Their Home Haunt

November 6, 2023 By Taylor Winters In Halloween Yard Displays, Prism, Review No Comments

The ramp leading up to the laboratory is already glowing green. A soapy sludge flies through the air, shot from a canon, and slowly slides down the decline. I bravely step into the radioactive residue—and it doesn’t burn my skin. Perhaps it only works on the monsters, I think to myself. Dr. Sanguine pulls a [...]

Burbank Clown House 2023 - Halloween Yard Display - Burbank CA

Clowns, Clowns, Clowns at the Burbank Clown House 2023

November 6, 2023 By Taylor Winters In Halloween Yard Displays, Review No Comments

Each year, following our adventure through Rotten Apple, we explore the neighboring blocks of Burbank. Long time reader of Haunting, Tim Redman creates elaborate yard displays just one block over—this year tackling ghosts versus skeletons in a comical and lighthearted way. It’s a pleasure to see, and Tim always puts his heart into it. But [...]

Hotel Who’s La Séance: Spiritualism, Intrigue, & Recommendations for this Murder Mystery

November 5, 2023 By Taylor Winters In Immersive Theater, Review, The Hotel Who No Comments

Various rugs are laid across the floor, lit only by the flicker of candlelight. Strangers join hands together, forming a kidney bean shaped circle. Ludwig kneels at the center, the Ivar family remaining close, but not too close. Ludwig begins speaking in a tongue I cannot comprehend, his breath becoming more rapid, as he opens [...]

Dangling Carrot - Grisly Gardens 2023 - Haunted House - Santa Clarita CA

Dangling Carrot’s Grisly Garden – A Film Industry Fabricated Halloween Haunt

November 4, 2023 By Taylor Winters In Haunted House, Review No Comments

Dangling Carrot Creative - Grisly Garden The lights flash a blinding cascade of colors. My eyes try to adjust, but the figure at the end of the hall remains fuzzy; out of focus. As the lights change, the polka dotted walls appear to transform: blues becoming purple, yellows turning green. I look again, but the [...]
