Earlier this year, I shared that Los Angeles’ acclaimed horror theatre attraction, Delusion, would be returning for 2021 with the help of 13th Floor Entertainment Group. On Tuesday, Delusion announced further details around this year’s experience. Returning for the 2021 season, the all-new show ushers guests back to its horror roots with ‘Reaper’s Remorse.’ Inviting you to ‘play your part,’ the 2021 edition of this now-renowned attraction will open on September 16, inhabiting the delightfully dilapidated Phillips Mansion in Pomona, CA.
A site-specific, intimate, interactive play where guests move through the venue as the haunting narrative unfolds, Delusion invites guests to play a part in a fully realized, live otherworldly adventure, unlike anywhere else. Adding even more excitement to the Delusion experience in 2021, the attraction will feature the first-ever ‘Open World’ accompaniment that continues the immersive experience. All tickets entitle guests to wander the ‘Open World’ and explore multiple narrative threads within a whole new adjacent event area, featuring food, drinks, and more. Like an eerie scavenger hunt, the experience will help further shape the story and is available before or after the main attraction. This fantastic new addition continues the already twisted tale for hours of scary fun!
Reaper’s Remorse Synopsis:
There are some dead that won’t let go. Clutching to this world by whatever threads they can find. Pretty red shoes. A shotgun. A loved one left behind. And although these strands of life can be as innocent as a child’s toy… everything has its price. A price only Esther Phillips can afford.
She lives alone. A solemn collector surrounded by artifacts that not only tell tales but carry the very souls they’re tied to. An ethereal prison of those unwilling to let go.
Esther’s latest acquisition may be her greatest yet… if she would only go near. Fear, anger, and regret bleed from it. Things decay, but memories can linger.
A rare invitation has been extended to you, fellow lovers of the occult. An exclusive evening to play your part in the haunting and epic story of Esther Phillips.
There are some dead that won’t let go. And there are others that must make them.
Tickets for the highly anticipated event attraction go on sale to the public July 15th at 11 AM PST, with an exciting special 24-hour exclusive pre-sale ticket opportunity offered on July 14th at 11 AM PST, for fans who register in advance on the event’s website, enterdelusion.com.
Frighteningly fun new Delusion additions in 2021 also include the debut of “Her Private Collection: VIP Experience,” a special ticket upgrade, allowing guests to continue their mansion visit in a secluded 2nd floor of terror, filled with the families’ private collection of artifacts, uncovering exclusive story threads. Also, on the second floor, as part of the VIP experience, is the private ‘Dark Arts Bar & Lounge’ where more fun awaits with entertainment and perhaps a chance encounter with the mansion’s strange, magical and eccentric resident. This highly encouraged upgrade also includes a ‘Reaper’s Remorse’ limited poster signed by creator Jon Braver.
“With theatre lovers ready for live entertainment, Delusion’s return couldn’t come at a better time,” said Jon Braver, Delusion creator. “We are crazy excited to return to our Delusion horror roots and to deliver an all-new, original play in what I would say is the very best Delusion venue yet!”
The Phillips Mansion is located at 2640 Pomona Blvd in Pomona, CA. Ticket prices start at $89.99. Street parking is available at no cost.
Because dates and quantities are limited to ensure the attraction delivers the experience that has left Halloween-lovers loyally coming back for more than 10 years, fans are encouraged to act quickly as past years have sold out almost immediately.
