I push through two red doors, both marked with crosses, and enter a hazy, fog-filled cathedral. Large stained-glass windows glow at the opposite end of the room illuminating an empty pulpit. Numerous dark hooded figures fill in the pews, their heads bowed in prayer. I slowly inch down the aisle trying to determine which, if […]
In the evening’s darkness, I briskly walk down the dirt path to the second overhang of trees, the cold air nipping at me. I’m only feet away from a residential neighborhood and safety, but I continue forward into the park and stop at my destination. I press PLAY on my phone to listen to the […]
The following is a review of LA Haunted Hayride Drive-In. It contains minor spoilers. Our eyes are fixed on the screen as Monte Revolta concludes a catchy and dramatic musical number with a sweeping summoning gesture to all the undead in the area.They seem to materialize from every shadowy corner of the drive-in, shambling towards us […]
Ten years after his genre-defining film Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero returned to Pittsburgh to film Dawn of the Dead, a biting commentary of a consumerist society told through the lens of a zombie film. The majority of the content was filmed at nearby Monroeville Mall, where a band of survivors are outlasting a horde […]
I step out of the makeshift elevator and silently curse how little of the room my glow stick illuminates. Blue light, it turns out, is the worst color for this sort of work, and I struggle to make out much of anything more than a few feet away. I am utterly unprepared for the nurse […]
Through the door, down the stairs, and to the left. I’m wearing a shirt stained with someone else’s blood, tiptoeing through a deserted house, following a trail of candles. The silence weighs heavily on me; I start to wonder that maybe they just forgot about me. Then, a shadow moves. A flash of a grin […]
Marina Del Rey has been quietly throwing stand-out events for the community for years now, turning a semi-hidden park into a wonderland of seasonal delights. Last year, we got the chance to see one of their many events, the Marina Spooktacular – an entirely free, and crazy fun attraction for haunt lovers of all ages […]
We had long left the city of Barcelona behind. Winding roads carving through mountain terrain, snowy peaks in the distance, a distinct chill in the air. One more hairpin corner, and suddenly we are confronted with an imposing cooling tower, once part of a functioning hillside nuclear plant. Now part of Horrorland 2019, this tower […]
I navigate through tight corners, ambling back and forth, and run into tiny elves in silly costumes scurrying about in the darkness. I can’t help but laugh, not because anything is necessarily funny, but because I’m a big guy and stumbling through tiny corridors inherently makes me laugh nervously. I think that this Asylum I […]
I step toward the door, but a disheveled man blocks my exits. He’s a patient of the insane asylum I’m visiting – and does not want me to leave. He picks up a phone hanging on a nearby wall and licks the receiver, spittle dripping down his ratty beard. He adjusts his Santa hat with […]
