Her skirt is a white river, flowing down the staircase. The loose fabric tangles beneath her, and the woman screams as she tumbles into the wooden step. Scrambling to her feet, she reaches the top, and tries doorway after doorway – one locked, one a kill chamber, one leading to a dead end – and […]
Looking beguilingly exotic with her distinct features and her black, stylishly angled beret, the woman is curt, maybe even slightly demeaning as she tells me to turn around. There are some dangerous people in the crowd tonight, and you don’t want to turn your back on them. Besides, she tells me a bit more reassuringly, […]
Nearly 7 feet tall with a green-tinged face, The Creature stomps forward to the front of the stage. He glares at the audience as his creator, Frederick Frankenstein, whips off The Creature’s medical gown and reveals that underneath is a dashing tuxedo. As Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’ on the Ritz” begins, The Creature’s horrible-looking face transforms […]
A raging fire provides some warmth against the cold air of the wooden cabin. An elk’s head mounted to the wall silently watches me with it’s large, black eyes. An old tape player recites a foreign passage in an unknown language. I don’t think it’s Latin – but I don’t have time to listen any […]
A line of thirty people extends out from an oversized game of Connect Four. The blue and red game pieces would be perfect for a battle between Charmander and Squirtle, red vs blue, fire vs water. But this opportunity was missed – and instead, it’s just a comically large game between friends. I move to […]
Below is our review of Adios Dolores, the provocative debut immersive experience by Charley Gallay. It is reminiscent of an evocatively charged, black-and-white Vogue photoshoot, and it is gorgeous.

“Don’t worry… I got the ship on sail.” Carly Flair laughs as she points to a large pirate ship cemented into the concrete, with hyperactive children climbing all over it. They are the underlings of the dreaded Captain Nobeard, and we are just new recruits in a long-lasting pirate war. We’ve taken refuge in the […]
Don’t you want a balloon..? IT Experience Chapter Two Does. In 2017, Warner Bros. erected a pop-up activation on Hollywood and Vine to promote the upcoming IT movie. The spooky Neibolt House was an enormous success, so much so that the wait in their stand-by line averaged over 2 hours. Needless to say, I […]
1, 2, 3, 4… Clickety-clack, clickety-clack… Johnny Cycle Remount. Our drill sergeant barks at us, her voice reverberates against the cold marble walls of the mausoleum. My fellow soldiers and I do as we’re told, marching in time with the refrain, heading off to war. I’m not nervous, only melancholy – haunted by the […]
I am lying in my bed. Mom tucked me in just a few moments ago and both she and my father wished me good night before leaving the room. But there is no sleep to be had here. First, even as a child I can read the tension between my parents. But worse, “The Shadow” […]
