For Halloween this year, London's Hoxton Hall is hosting an immersive theater show called 'Hammer House of Horror Live – The Soulless Ones' that gives attendees the chance to explore more than 100 scenes over the course of two hours.
The Soulless Ones introduces Carmilla as the Queen of the Vampires and "a bloody ritual that will allow [vampires] to appear in the daylight." Guests will be invited to move through vaults, dens, attics and chambers to discover the full story.
Over the past few years, a whole new world of theatrical productions has been opened up that breaks down the barriers between performers and audience members. Now more than ever, consumers are looking to take an active part in their own entertainment and many Millennials are taking the opportunity to participate in highly immersive experiences like this one.
