Steampunk Haunted House Hits the Scene

September 22, 2009 Costumes, Halloween, Haunt Industry 1 Comment

As many of you Deadites know, I am a huge Steampunk fan. In fact the Mortician is Steampunking himself for this upcoming season. Well how about a Haunted Attraction full of Steampunk? Then we have found the gem for you!

“Enter an immersive world of churning gears, mechanical monstrosities, and steam-powered cyborgs in New York’s newest haunted house, created by award-winning downtown contemporary performance and installation artists. Sprawling throughout the Henry Street Playhouse’s sumptuous, century-old parlors and labyrinthine subterranean cellars, this elegant, visually stunning experience is at once terrifying and beautiful.”

Conceived and created by Zach Morris in collaboration with Jesse Green, Liz Sargent, Barry Weil, Kryssy Wright, and featuring members of Abrons Art Center’s Urban Youth Theater.

The Steampunk Haunted House is a distinctive, fine-art and entertainment event that puts a new spin on the idea of Haunted Houses by fashioning a lush, visually stunning, fiercely designed and choreographed experience.

Utilizing the architecture of the historic Henry Street Settlement Playhouse, the Steampunk Haunted House features a maze of dense and dizzying environments that wind through the beautiful theater, backstage, and down into the cavernous and dungeon-like basement of the turn of the century building. Groups of 6-10 people are incrementally admitted into this labrynthine environment where Zach Morris, along with fellow installation/performance artists Liz Sargent and Barry Weil terrify audiences with clockwork spiders, legions of half-man/half-machine drones, and mechanized monsters and misfits. Thorough eerie parlors, laboratories, boiler rooms, and navigating dark, narrow hallways, corridors, and caverns, the audience is met with startling, stunning terrors around every turn.

What the Hell is Steampunk?:
Steampunk: an underground style and aesthetic that is rapidly becoming one of the most popular trends in entertainment, fashion, and culture. Steampunk offers a fresh, romanticized view on technology and fashion by making it retro, usually set in an alternate, anachronistic Victorian-era.

Now I know Rotting Flesh Radio is making this a must-see this haunt season, and I think it will be an experience like no other. For more information or to purchase tickets to the event you can visit: Purchase Tickets Online or for more about the Creators: www.ThirdRailProjects.com
