The Bite LA Holiday | Meyer2Meyer Entertainment

The Bite LA Holiday Is a Delicious and Sweet Holiday Treat

December 18, 2020 By Lacey Pawlowicz In Installations / Pop-Ups, Meyer2Meyer Entertainment, Review No Comments

We are at The Bite LA Holiday, and I clutch a cloth sno-ball in my hand, primed for the next snowman to show itself. We slowly pull up alongside an illuminated igloo, a projection of snowfall dancing on the side. The Tran-Siberian Orchestra's “Wizards in Winter” hums through my body, my heart pulsing with the [...]

Fright Farms and Not So Spooky Farm Provide Frights and Family Fun

December 15, 2020 By Alyssa Concha In Immersive Horror, Immersive Theater, Review No Comments

Men in yellow hazmat suits approach the car, our closed windows keeping us safe. They wave wands over our vehicle and over the people outside to see if anyone is infected. But before the scans can be completed, a shambling shell of a former human in a blood-stained lab coat stumbles out from behind a [...]

WonderLAnd Drive-Thru | Experiential Supply Co

WonderLAnd Drive-Thru Will Amaze Even the Nastiest Grinch

December 11, 2020 By Lacey Pawlowicz In Experiential Supply Co, Installations / Pop-Ups, Review No Comments

We turn our car down the twisting path and pass a sign reading "WonderLAnd Village." Here stands a row of house facades, each decorated in bright and magical colors and lights; a beautiful celebration. One house, awash in blue and white lights, is decorated with a large menorah and Jewish star to represent Hanukkah. Another [...]

Magic Mountain Holidays in the Park Drive-Thru Experience | Christmas 2020

Holidays in the Park Drive-Thru – Magic Mountain Brings Holiday Joy From a Safe Distance

December 4, 2020 By Lacey Pawlowicz In Review, Theme Parks & Installations No Comments

I recognize the twinkling lights, like icicles dangling from the candy-cane-striped trees. I recognize the Danny Elfman music emanating from the snow-lined path that’s dotted with ice sculptures of wild animals. I recognize the reindeer-led sleigh, rising high into the air, with the one and only Santa Claus at the helm. But this is Holidays [...]

Happy Place Drive-Thru Adds a Much-Needed Dose of Joy to 2020

December 3, 2020 By Lacey Pawlowicz In Installations / Pop-Ups, Review No Comments

A curtain reads LET’S DANCE in large, white font against a colorful background. An usher slowly pulls back the curtain and invites us to pull our car into the single-car port. The lights dim, then blast on full, flickering to the song we chose to listen to. The music courses through our bodies and a [...]

BCR: A Place to Scare’s Cursed Creek Drive-Thru Haunts with Witches and Voodoo

December 1, 2020 By Spencer Frankeberger In BCR: A Place to Scare, Home Haunts, Review No Comments

Driving through a dark, dreary parking lot and seeing Baba Yaga, a creepy, decrepit old woman, just like in the old terrifying tale, gives me chills. A rush of nostalgia runs through my veins, as if I am being transported back to my childhood, listening to the eerie folklore that plagues my memories – the [...]

Hallowheels Las Vegas’ Trapped Is a Beautiful Show But Lacks Engagement

November 23, 2020 By Madeline Nelson In Haunted House, Out of State Haunts, Review No Comments

A low and ominous rumbling is coming from the walls around us. Something isn’t right, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Our car is covered by camouflage netting and we’re blocked in on all sides. Suddenly we hear some crackling on the radio and the loud voice of mission control: You idiot! You [...]
