Horror franchise “Insidious” is making a jump from the big screen and directly into your theater seat with “Insidious: The Further You Fear,” a live immersive horror experience based on the box office hit horror film franchise from Blumhouse, director James Wan, and writer Leigh Whannell. The experience is a collaborative effort between GEA Live, Blumhouse, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and RoadCo Entertainment, who will bring this live immersive show to over 80 seated theaters across North America starting in January 2025.
“Insidious: The Further You Fear” is a heart-pounding live theatrical experience where the lines between reality and fiction blur, constantly challenging what’s real and what’s imagined, what’s safe and what’s dangerous. This groundbreaking immersive experience is meticulously crafted to keep the audience on edge, with no fourth wall to separate or protect them from the unfolding terror. Each attendee will go face-to-face with the protagonists, making the audience an integral character in the chilling story as it unravels.
“We have brought some of the most respected names in the horror and entertainment industries together to make this groundbreaking show possible and ensure a hauntingly unforgettable experience for audiences everywhere,” says Floris Douwes from GEA Live.
“Insidious: The Further You Fear” is an exciting new story conceived within the “Insidious” universe. Hosted as a live event by the “real” Specs and Tucker, the actual paranormal investigators who inspired the first movie, the “Spectral Sightings Road Show” soon takes a turn for the terrifying. As the infamous duo desperately tries to prove they are legitimate ghost hunters, things start to become very Insidious when a paranormal demonstration goes wrong and dark forces are inadvertently unleashed. Trapped in a genuinely haunted theatre, with something truly sinister lurking backstage, the audience will find themselves under attack from such iconic characters as the Bride in Black, the Wheezing Man, and, of course, the terrifying Lipstick-Faced Demon. But what’s real? What’s the show? And who are you really sitting next to?
“Bringing audiences deeper into The Further with this live experience has been an exciting challenge, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they respond,” said Jason Blum, Founder/CEO, Blumhouse. “Insidious is one of our most popular franchises, with a sixth installment premiering next year, and this is a fresh and frightening new way for fans to experience it.”
The “Insidious” franchise continues to gain momentum with each new installment. The popular horror franchise is a box office sensation, generating over $742 million in revenue across five highly successful films. The growing legion of fans includes an active community of five million social media followers. However, while the show is a must for Insidious fans, it’s also created for those who don’t know the films, particularly those who love a fun, thrill-filled night out at the theatre.
Tickets for “Insidious: The Further You Fear” go on sale on October 25, 2024. For more information, including tour dates, visit www.insidious-live.com.
