As the spirits return to their graves and the glowing smile on the Jack O Lantern dims, our Halloween Haunt Guide comes to a close with fewer and fewer events. But we don't want to keep up an empty guide throughout the year--rather, we want to showcase the wonderful haunted houses, conventions, immersive horror experiences, [...]

Cross Roads Escape Games - The Weeping Witch - Anaheim CA - Escape Room Cover

The Weeping Witch Combines Theater, Haunts, & Puzzles into a World Class Escape Room

September 3, 2022 By Taylor Winters In Cross Roads Escape Games, Escape Rooms, Review No Comments

I insert the crystal into the machine, and it whirrs and vibrates in recognition. Yet, my progress isn’t accepted by all in the room. The heads of the dolls begin to move on their own and the lights dim. I put my hand to my necklace and remember the strength it is meant to offer [...]

Elsewhere at the Madcap Motel – Check In and Discover Other Dimensions

June 13, 2021 By Lacey Pawlowicz In Immersive Theater, Installations / Pop-Ups, Review No Comments

I open a hotel room door. It’s plain, unassuming, and just like any other hotel room I’ve entered. But this hotel is different – and the other side, however, is remarkable. The inside is a beautiful blue sky full of clouds. I stare in wonder at the vastness before me when I hear a woman […]

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 [...]

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 [...]
