Holy Smokes! Urban Death: Tour Of Terror Haunts Zombie Joe's Underground
Theatre Group in North Hollywood annual Halloween spectacle. Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre
fun and frightening Haunted-Halloween Theatrical Attraction steers theater-goers and thrill-seekers through a terrifying Maze & Show of inexplicable horrors, unfathomable monstrosities, and the disturbed spirits that walk among us! Directed by Zombie Joe & Denise Devin.
This Halloween season the
darkened doors of Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group will slowly
slip open and summon guests inside to experience Urban Death: Tour of
Terror.
Tour of Terror takes ZJU's signature show, Urban Death, a series of
horror vignettes designed to shock, delight and titillate audiences, and
transforms it into an immersive haunted experience. The show will steer
theater-goers and thrill-seekers through a terrifying performance and
maze of inexplicable horrors, unfathomable monstrosities, and the
disturbing spirits that walk among us.
The doors to the lobby opens five times an evening as guests are led
through the maze in groups of two or three. Guests are provided with
only a muted flashlight to guide them. Once through the maze and into
the theater the flashlight is taken away and the show begins. After the
show they are again given flashlights to walk back through the maze,
where new performances and haunted surprises await them.
The biggest, scariest and best yet, as co-directors and creators Zombie
Joe and Denise Devin keep pushing the
show to new heights. Drawing on more than a decade of Urban Death
performances, the duo knows exactly how to twist the knife. The maze and
show has evolved each year, pushing into new and surprising territory
and promising an unforgettable experience for newcomers and returning
fans.
This year's cast is epic, explains co-director and producer Zombie Joe.
We're so excited to bring
the audience into our world. The show is a labor of love and you can see
our blood, sweat and tears in every scream.
As the show's popularity continues to grow in leaps and bounds –
bringing more and more guests into the theater each year – we recommend
two things: buying your tickets early, and visiting the show for the
first two weekends it runs. The closer we get to Halloween the more
shows we sell out.
Urban Death: Tour of Terror is an experience that creeps deep inside the
brain and refuses to let go. You've been warned.
