Delusion: The Red Castle Makes Its Mark This Halloween Season

by · Bloody Disgusting

The avant-garde of interactive horror theater, Delusion, returns this Halloween for its 13th season. Jon Braver created Delusion in 2011, and it has since become a staple in the horror community while bringing immersive experiences to new heights.

Running select nights from now through November 3rd, this unique experience places you in the middle of a horror movie, and it’s up to you to play your part. Whether it’s jumping into a grave or playing dead while laying on a stretcher, you interact with the actors to move the story along.

After three years at the Phillips Mansion in Pomona, CA, many were left wondering, What’s next for Delusion? After much anticipation, it has been announced that the saga continues this year at the Stimson House, also known as The Red Castle, in Los Angeles proper. This Los Angeles landmark was built in 1891 as home to a lumber mogul, and carries a rich history including surviving a dynamite attack by a blackmailer. The Romanesque castle sets the scene for the dark and mysterious titan that is Delusion.

This year’s storyline, The Red Castle, pays homage to the early Delusion stories, and continues the story of Dr. Frederick Lowell. With the death of his wife, the banished psychologist spirals down the dark path of resurrection, swallowing his former patients into his tragic pursuit. The Red Castle allows attendees to experience a breadth of emotion, all while feeling the true fear that comes with being placed within a horror story yourself. Everything from the actors, to the production value, to the level of interactivity shows why Delusion is the crown jewel of immersive horror in Southern California.

Delusion consistently sets the bar for interactive theater and this year’s new location and storyline takes it to the next level. Tickets are available now at www.enterdelusion.com.
