Stranger Things The Experience - Immersive Theater - Activation - Montebello CA

Stranger Things The Experience Allows You to Unlock Your Power as a Main Character

December 4, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Immersive Theater, Installations / Pop-Ups, Review No Comments

When I was growing up in the 80’s to early 90’s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters were my favorite franchises. I owned a full Ghostbuster suit with a proton pack and, of course, I had every Ninja Turtle as an action figure. Yet, last night, when I stepped into Stranger Things The Experience, I [...]

Prism - MiCRO Lab Madness - Haunted House - Westminster CA

MiCRO Lab Madness is the Zenith of Prism’s Haunted Houses

December 1, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Haunted House, Prism, Review No Comments

Prism is a former Mission Viejo home haunt that impressed us year after year but their shear quality, innovative, and technology. When other haunts closed during Covid, Prism created a socially distant haunt in their front yard, in which an AI helps bring the nightmares of a young girl to life—with three-dimensional video projected across [...]

Downtown Repertory Theater Creates an Immersive Masterpiece with Witch!

November 29, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Downtown Repertory Theater, Immersive Theater, Review No Comments

“Do you believe in ghosts?” James asks me as we traverse deeper down the dark corridor lit only by his lantern light. The coin purse jingles in my hands, reminding me of my mission—to deliver this definitely-not-a-bribe to the Magistrate. But as we walk deeper down into the mausoleum, I worry that I am further [...]

Hauntington Beach Manor - Midnight Shadows - Haunted House - Westminster CA

Hauntington Beach Manor’s Midnight Shadows is a Must See Live Ghost Capture with Great Effects

November 27, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Haunted House, Hauntington Beach Manor, Review No Comments

We need your help. The ghost of a little girl haunts the grounds of what was one the Little Hope orphanage. And while the site has been rebuilt, fires start mysteriously, and death is always just a door away. But tonight, The Midnight Society will attempt to enter the site and use your spiritual energy [...]

Gershon Dungeon Haunt - 2022 - Home Haunt - Tustin CA

Gershon Dungeon Haunt is the Longest Running OC Home Haunt & Here’s Why

November 26, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Gershon Dungeon, Home Haunts, Review No Comments

I take a seat on the bench, to wait my execution. I hear the creak of metal and wood—and the seat begins to move, spinning around to reveal a secret room behind me—and a cloaked figure with a demonic face. “Are humans still flammable?” He asks me. And I nod simply. “Ma, turn the broiler [...]

American Contemporary Ballet - Immersive Nutcracker Suite Ballet 2022 - Los Angeles CA - Immersive Theater - Performance Theater

The Nutcracker Suite Ballet is an Incredible Immersive Treat

November 26, 2022 By Taylor Winters In American Contemporary Ballet, Immersive Theater, Review No Comments

Note: The Nutcracker Suite ballet by the American Contemporary Ballet is my second favorite ballet (just under American Contemporary Ballet’s Inferno and Burlesque). The opening and article contain minor spoilers to the immersive portion of the show, so if you want to be fully surprised, stop reading now and just purchase tickets for this holiday [...]

Ambitious in fit and form, Stardust introduces participants to over twenty different characters, all of which have distinct and unique tracks that navigate throughout the two floors of the hotel as well [...]

MacDevitt Manor Haunt - Curse of Witch Hollow - Home Haunt - West Covina CA

MacDevitt Manor Haunt is a Fairytale Home Haunt Come to Life

November 25, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Home Haunts, MacDevitt Manor, Review No Comments

The rickety gate opens, and I step into MacDevitt Manor Haunt 's Witch Hollow. A series of scarecrows with withered pumpkin heads welcome me until I reach a small cottage, reminiscent of one Hansel and Gretel may have visited when lost in the woods. With no where else to go, I approach the cottage, grab [...]

The Outcast Penitentiary - Home Haunt - Anaheim Hills CA

The Outcast Penitentiary is a Home Haunt Recreating The 17th Door

November 25, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Home Haunts, Review, The Outcast Penitentiary No Comments

The 17th Door is a haunted house with a Penitentiary theme, notorious for its innovation and boundary pushing. It shocks guests—quite literally—putting them face to face with roaches, locking them in claustrophobic chambers that drop guests into a pit of balls, and even has them kneel in front a truck that barrels towards them, stopping [...]

Hollenbeck House Haunt - Home Haunt - Covina CA

Hollenbeck House Haunt Mashes Up Horror Themes With An Army of Statues

November 3, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Hollenbeck House Haunt, Home Haunts, Review No Comments

Enter if you Dare. A neon sign welcomes me to Hollenbeck House Haunt, along with an army of zombies, undertakers, clowns, scarecrows, and creepy children. They are all mannequins or dummies—lifeless shells with glowing eyes, moving arms, or extending necks. And while one may not be that scary—seeing this many, all in one singular place, [...]
