About Us
Consistency and attention to detail. Our goal is to provide our guests a fully immersive experience from the start. We are a horror-themed escape center, fashioned after a 1940s hotel. Our website gives off that vibe, as do our social posts. Once a guest reserves a room, they receive a confirmation email fashioned after one that a hotel might send out. Upon arrival, the lobby is dimly lit and spritzed with a haunted mansion scent. 1940s music emanates softly from behind an old-fashioned radio. At the front desk, guests receive a welcome letter from management along with their room key. Speaking of the guest rooms, even these have details built in. While some guests might not realize it, others find they are fun "easter eggs". For example, the door to Carnival Macabre/Nightmare Lands is room 1962 - the year Ray Bradbury published "Something Wicked This Way Comes", a novel about a dark carnival. Each "guest room" is its own universe, providing occupants with sights, sounds, and scents that aid them in their immersion. Their only lifeline to the hotel is communication with "Proprietor", "Mother","Housekeeper" and "Chambermaid". These staff members remain in character when communicating with guests either in person or over the telephone. Further, our guest's experience does not end when the game is over. There is a hotel gift shop in our lobby, offering souvenirs of their stay. We believe that remaining consistent with our mythos while paying attention to the smallest detail provides our guests with a memorable experience from before they arrive to well after they leave.
Owning my own business was a dream made possible with the help of my family. My brother, owner of Carlos Anthony Art, is our artist and architect. My mother, known only as "Mother", bumped our mythos up to a whole new level. My daughter, Angelina, has embraced her role as "Housekeeper", sacrificing her weekends to help our company succeed. Together we each bring our unique gifts and talents to the table, offering our guests a unique experience. Finally, we want to thank our faithful guests, without whom none of this would be possible.
