Creep, LA, Awake, Los Angeles, Immersive Theater, Haunt, CA, 2018, CreepLA

This fall, JFI Productions explores what creeps in the darkness of your mind. At night. While you sleep. Everyone dreams. You have to. They say if you don’t dream, you die. Or is it – if you die in your dreams, you die in real life? Everyone’s has a bad dream they just can’t shake – or a dream that’s so real it feels like you’re AWAKE. What happens if your nightmares keep repeating, night after night? And what happens if you’re too afraid to close your eyes at night… afraid of what’s inside your mind?

Audiences in LA will enter the deep twisted darkness of nightmares. And if you get too scared, just remember: It’s all a dream. Right?

Meant to represent her suffocated infant son, it will push her to a place of evil & perversion. The depravity spreads like a virus.

Fear Addiction, Factory of Terror, Haunted House, Temecula, Riverside, CA, Halloween

Spade Cooley is jack of all trades. He first made it big in the 1930’s as a bootlegger. When prohibition ended he creeped his way into Los Angeles. Along the road from Chicago he assembled a group of loyal misfits and psychopath’s and a trail of carnage followed in their path. In the wake of the L.A zoot suit riots he set up shop in an old abandoned warehouse outside of Los Angeles and Ace of Spades Transport and Storage was born. Soon after on the morning of January 15 1947 in a vacant lot on the west side of South Norton , the body of an aspiring young actress was found severed in two pieces. The severely mutilated body was completely severed at the waist and drained entirely of blood, leaving its skin a pallid white. Her face had been slashed from the corners of her mouth to her ears, creating a twisted smile. The L.A newspapers tagged it the Black Dahlia murder and the city was changed forever. The murder has never solved. Spade had left his mark on Los Angeles and it greased the wheels of decades of unsolved murders and disappearances across the country. The Cleveland Torso murders and the Chicago Lip Stick murders to name a few. Fear is power and nobody does it better than Spade. But, nothing lasts forever or does it? Because of his sins Spade was forever cast out to wonder among us in search of his next big gig. Today he serves up a new kind of Fear as master of ceremonies at the Fear Addiction Haunted House. When Spade digs under your skin he stays there. Fear is his business and business is good.
