The Los Angeles Theatre is a historic and iconic theater located in downtown Los Angeles, California. This theater opened its doors in 1931 and is renowned for its stunning Art Deco design, both on the inside and out. Decorative elements, including colorful murals, ornate chandeliers, marquees, and neon signage, reflect the era’s glamour. During its heyday, The Los Angeles Theatre was built during the “Golden Age of Hollywood,” this was a time when grand movie palaces were constructed to showcase the latest films in style. This theatre is now home for a short time to an immersive experience, Angel of Light.

**Angel of Light** – Los Angeles, California.

Old Hollywood is resurrected for this live, immersive walkthrough horror experience. Its dark hallways, its underbelly, its shadows, guests will be transported back to 1935. The immersive experience uses advanced technology such as shifting light, Dolby Atmos sound, projection, and power strobe lights.

**Angel of Light** – The Los Angeles Theater

We began our descent in the lobby, where it was very welcoming, and we were greeted. An actor gave the introduction and story. We were met with vendors offering cigars and cigarettes, but there was something very sinister about these frozen-faced women.

Once the lobby scene was over, the group was ushered downstairs, where the feeling was that of a maze at Halloween Horror Nights, something familiar. We traveled through dark hallways, were warned not to wake the Angel, and were in a flashback scene from what looked like somewhere in the 19th century.

After the maze, you enter a theatre ballroom with a bar as the center attraction. A few more haunting characters of that era are walking around. There are also different areas that guests can explore, and they can see other scenes play out before their eyes. What I enjoyed about this area was that there was a rush, no one pushing anyone to move on to the next room. I could sit back and take in everything, enjoy the environment, and suck it all in. Everything was at our own pace.

After this, we did another walkthrough experience as we made our way to the finale, where everyone was guided to the main theater for the grand finale performance.

ANGEL OF LIGHT was a lovely experience and something I can see growing each year. The attention to detail and the atmosphere was something I had never experienced before. It was haunting yet beautiful elegance, and this event was unlike any other, and it comes with the highest of recommendations. The event is priced at $59.50 per person and is reasonably priced for the sixty to ninety-minute event.

ANGEL OF LIGHT runs from September 15 through October 31, with performances Wednesday – Sunday, 6 PM – 12 AM. Tickets can be purchased here.

Radio Silence No Longer Attached to ‘Escape From New York’

Radio Silence has certainly had its ups and downs over the past year. First, they said they wouldn’t be directing another sequel to Scream, but their movie Abigail became a box office hit among critics and fans. Now, according to Comicbook.com, they won’t be pursuing the Escape From New York reboot that was announced late last year.

Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are the duo behind the directing/production team. They talked with Comicbook.com and when questioned about Escape From New York project, Gillett gave this answer:

“We are not, unfortunately. I think titles like that bounce around for a while and I think they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a few times. I think it’s just ultimately a tricky rights issue thing. There’s a clock on it and we just weren’t in a position to make the clock, ultimately. But who knows? I think, in hindsight, it feels crazy that we would think we would, post-Scream, step into a John Carpenter franchise. You never know. There’s still interest in it and we’ve had a few conversations about it but we’re not attached in any official capacity.”

Radio Silence has yet to announce any of its upcoming projects.

Shelter in Place, New ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Trailer Drops

The third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise is set to release only in theaters on June 28. Even though this one is minus John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, it still looks terrifyingly magnificent.

This entry is said to be a spin-off and not a sequel to the series, although it’s technically more a prequel. The wonderful Lupita Nyong’o takes center stage in this movie, along with Joseph Quinn as they navigate through New York City under siege by bloodthirsty aliens.

The official synopsis, as if we need one, is “Experience the day the world went quiet.” This, of course, refers to the quick-moving aliens who are blind but have an enhanced sense of hearing.

Under the direction of Michael Sarnoski (Pig) this apocalyptic suspense thriller will be released the same day as the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s three-part epic western Horizon: An American Saga.

Which one will you see first?

Rob Zombie is joining the growing cast of horror music legends for McFarlane collectibles. The toy company, headed by Todd McFarlane, has been doing its Movie Maniacs line since 1998, and this year they have created a new series called Music Maniacs. This includes legendary musicians, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Trooper Eddie from Iron Maiden.

Adding to that iconic list is director Rob Zombie formerly of the band White Zombie. Yesterday, via Instagram, Zombie posted that his likeness will join the Music Maniacs line. The “Dracula” music video inspires his pose.

This won’t be the first time Zombie has been featured with the company. Back in 2000, his likeness was the inspiration for a “Super Stage” edition where he is equipped with hydraulic claws in a diorama made of stones and human skulls.

For now, McFarlane’s Music Maniacs collection is only available for pre-order. The Zombie figure is limited to only 6,200 pieces. Pre-order yours at the McFarlane Toys website.
