Hi spooky friends! Sorry, we've been absent from here. It's tough juggling the website, social media, our new newsletter (coming soon...), and also making merch! We're going to have shirts up for sale very soon, and there are a lot of exciting things happening behind the scenes as well! Stay spooky

2026 has been incredibly fruitful, and we're not even done with January yet. Let's keep the momentum going!

EMPANADA LOCO, an immersive theatrical production inspired by the legend of Sweeney Todd, is coming to North Hollywood this February, presented by Las Vegas' @majesticreptheatre . Details at www.majesticrepertory.com .

Started hiring writers and an EIC for the site. Finally feels like things are becoming worthwhile!

The plan to revamp our website is taking longer than I thought... New PC setup, no knowledge of how to get it all configured but that won't stop us! Hopefully by the end of the year (sooner please) we'll have a brand new site ready for y'all

2026 is going to be a CRAZY time for us. More events, more fun, and merch??? Stay tuned 😈

This gratuitously manipulative set of images are our way of saying MIDSUMMER SCREAM ANNOUNCEMENTS will begin releasing soon. Stay tuned.

The rampant use of AI/CHAT GPT in horror events and haunts is becoming increasingly frustrating. Not only are these businesses cutting corners and not paying real artists to create promos, flyers and logos for them, it's also harming the environment further. I'm disheartened by all of it

The number of events my team and I get invited to is insane and I'm forever gratfeful! ...and yet I still feel disappointed when we don't get invited to movie screenings or media nights for big haunts because we're not "influencers" with big numbers. Am I ungrateful or frustrated?
