Give Up the Ghost reverses the typical Halloween haunt—here, you play your dead self called back from the shore of Eternity to bear witness to the sorrows and terrors of the living.
You will interact with characters at the edge of life and death in scenes that can be violent, tragic, and occasionally darkly humorous. The choices you make will haunt you, will change your own story, and just might change the entire narrative.
What choices will you make, as your light grows dim?
This is not a gore fest, extreme haunt nor jump-scare maze.
Each show lasts approximately 75-80 minutes. Some scenes are open for viewing anytime, others require a Shadow to guide you. Some scenes are for large groups, some are for smaller groups, some are for one person only. Participants can choose to interact with the actors or not. You can touch some actors (from fingertips to elbow only, not roughly), actors will not touch you.
There will be a waiver to sign at check in.

This is an expanded version of One Last Thing Before You Go, the award-winning, critically-acclaimed, totally sold-out Hollywood Fringe Festival production from 2018 by Spectacular Disaster Factory, LLC, the wife-husband team of Kirsten Hageleit & Aaron Vanek.
A portion of our box office goes both to the First Christian Church of Whittier (501c3), before they convert to low-income senior housing, and The Game Academy, a 501c3 that uses role-playing for education.
Spectacular Disaster Factory, LLC, is not partnered nor affiliated with the First Christian Church of Whittier; we are simply renting their building for this production. They are aware of our content and have given permission for its use.

Hollywood Gothique review - Without being doctrinaire, the experience feels spiritually uplifting, even exhilarating, like grace filling one's soul; in secular terms, one might call it therapeutic or salutary. "Restorative" bridges both viewpoints nicely - a sense of renewal. Or in language used in both psychoanalysis and the dramatic arts, Give Up The Ghost provides what few interactive plays ever do, a genuine emotional catharsis. If you want to feel something deeper than a simple scare this Halloween, go see Give Up The Ghost.
Bottom Line
We cannot recommend Give Up The Ghost highly enough. If there is one event you must see this Halloween, this is it.
Haunting.net review - Give Up the Ghost is a beautiful love letter to what it means to be innately human, and makes audiences want to linger in the Underworld just a little longer.
No Proscenium review - It. Was. Amazing.
The Haunt List review - ...one of the more unique Halloween experiences we’ve visited this season.
