It all starts with the design process. The Horror Dome’s artists first create concept drawings and 3D renders based on inspiration from classic movie monsters, terrifying creatures, and pop culture icons.

Throughout theatre’s history, dramatists have delved into the darker aspects of mankind’s psyche. Around the inception of theatre, Sophocles taught us to fear the wrath of the gods in Oedipus. Shakespeare joined his Elizabethan contemporaries by catering to his audience’s love of violence and bloody revenge plays through Titus Andronicus. Even duri...
To discuss the theatricality of modern haunt events, we must first examine a brief history of horror as it has appeared on stage, how it was staged and the reasons behind it. This is not meant as a summary of all staging of horror that has existed, simply a highlight reel to establish not only a pattern for the existence of horror in theatre, but t...
As the Twentieth Century dawned, the horrors that began on stage in the earliest forms of theatre found a new medium to continue to reach audiences and discuss their innermost fears. Filmmakers began borrowing, restaging, and reinventing our notions of horror for the new medium of motion pictures. While certainly the argument for this thesis is tha...

Even as this paper attempts to prove the theatricality of Haunt events, it is understood that the definition of what is “theatrical” can be such a broad term as to not only become undefinable but meaningless. After reviewing the research on this work, I turn to a passage by Tracy C. Davis to help define theatricality as it applies to this work: J...
