BLACKOUT NYC Revives The Greatness of Its Legacy [REVIEW]

"What made Blackout so great for me this year was the heart and vulnerability these actors put into their performance. Best Blackout performances I’ve seen – by far. Some of the best immersive theater performances I’ve seen. They made this place come alive."

I never saw myself as an "extreme haunt" gal. As a child, I was afraid of everything. EVERYTHING. From the movie Independence Day to a small fruit fly flying past my face. I am easily spooked by the tiniest of jump scares. I remember as a child,

Thanks, as always, Jaded Viewer. You were a big part of BLACKOUT’s early history. "Blackout is choreographed engineered chaos and horror that will 100% leave its experience like a splinter in your brain....its the haunted house other haunted houses are afraid of. "

From “They prove that they are masters of reading their audience and knowing how far to push. They are able to induce fear often though movement and commands alone – creating fear often without touch. But when they do touch you, it’s strong, forceful, and in control.”

“I have not felt that level of ANXIETY / FEAR / ANTICIPATION in a long time. I would equate that to being little and waiting to go on a rollercoaster”

How the creators of Blackout are bringing the extreme haunted house into your living room

Looking back to 2016 The Verge and Bryan Bishop. A sample version of “twenty one” is now available through our Kickstarter...
“Along with a certain relentless tone, the thing that binds all of the various Blackout experiences together is one simple concept: immersion. The idea of turning an audience member’s walking, daily life into the canvas for an extraordinary experience is undeniably at the core of everything the Blackout team works on. And dragging audiences away from complacency and forcing them to be present in the moment, no matter the means, is one of the reasons why their work has spawned such a legion of passionate devotees — and continues to be a driving factor for the creators themselves.”

I’m pretty sure Josh Randall and Kristjan Thor are coming to get me.

'BLACKOUT' Immersive Halloween Show

In less than six hours, you funded our initial Kickstarter goal and we could not be any more grateful. This first goal will add a nice bump to the paychecks of the cast and crew, which is amazing, but what if we could add another $100, $200 or more per week? Our stretch goal would elevate the pay of the entire team and help offset the budgeted expenses for personnel (allowing us to put more money into the things you've come to ‘love’: garbage bags, dirty condoms, tampons, night vision, the usual...). We still have several rewards available including only FIVE DAYS LEFT to register for pre-sale access. Join now and secure your tickets for the Halloween experience...

'BLACKOUT' Immersive Halloween Show

And now, something new...
As Blackout turns 10, we are reflecting on what it takes to put the show together. Undoubtedly, one of the most important parts is the dedicated actors and crew that work their asses off. But sending audiences through one at a time is not what one would call a good business model. This Halloween, it’s imperative we keep ticket prices fair while paying the actors a wage that is commensurate with their output. You can help us do that. 100% of donations from our will go directly to the daily run staff. In return for your help, you can be a part of the process. There’s a lot of info in this link; watch the video, read the appeal, and hopefully, join us….
