After keeping this under our hats for nearly a year, today we are announcing our next major Spymonkey production.
INSIDIOUS – THE FURTHER YOU FEAR is a live immersive horror experience based on the hit horror film franchise, Insidious.
Moving thrillingly beyond more familiar comedic territory, this latest show sees us taking bold steps into the world of Horror, as Creative Directors for a new production co-written Spymonkey associate and self-confessed horror connoisseur Carl Grose, who wrote Oedipussy and The Frogs for us.
INSIDIOUS – THE FURTHER YOU FEAR is a heart-pounding live theatrical experience where the lines between reality and fiction blur, constantly challenging what’s real and what’s imagined, what’s safe and what’s dangerous. It’s a groundbreaking immersive experience meticulously crafted by Spymonkey’s artistic directors Toby Park and Aitor Basauri with Carl Grose to always keep the audience on edge, with no fourth wall to separate them – or protect them – from the unfolding terror. Each attendee will go face-to-face with the protagonists, making the audience an integral character in the chilling story as it unravels.
Co-Director Toby Park says ‘This is such an exciting step for Spymonkey. We’ve been working for the last year on this and finally we get to tell you what we’ve been up to! It’s been brilliant to work with our great friend Carl Grose – we have been guided through this strange and disturbing world by his expert loving eyes. We’re also thrilled to be working with a brilliant team of US designers and performers who have been coming up with extraordinary ways of scaring the bejaysuses out of US audiences. We can’t wait to get this stuff in front of an audience. We think it is going to be the most brilliantly terrifying night out for Insidious fans.”
Jason Blum, Founder/CEO, Blumhouse, says “Bringing audiences deeper into The Further with this live experience has been an exciting challenge, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how they respond,” said Jason Blum, Founder/CEO, Blumhouse. “Insidious is one of our most popular franchises, with a sixth installment premiering next year, and this is a fresh and frightening new way for fans to experience it.”
Hosted as a live event by the “real” Specs and Tucker, the actual paranormal investigators who inspired the first movie, the “Spectral Sightings Road Show” soon takes a turn for the terrifying. As the infamous duo desperately try to prove they are legitimate ghost-hunters, things start to become very Insidious when a paranormal demonstration goes wrong and dark forces are inadvertently unleashed. Trapped in a genuinely haunted theatre, with something truly sinister lurking back-stage, the audience will find themselves under attack from such iconic characters as the Bride in Black, the Wheezing Man and, of course, the terrifying Lipstick Faced Demon. But what’s real? What’s the show? And who are you really sitting next to?
Based on the Blumhouse box office hit horror film franchise directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell, the co-producers of INSIDIOUS – THE FURTHER YOU FEAR – GEA Live, Blumhouse, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and RoadCo Entertainment – have joined forces to unveil a spine-tingling, live immersive show that will tour to 95 seated theatres across North America starting in January 2025.
The house is full. The stage is set. And the Red Door is about to open.
Tickets go on sale October 25. For more information including tour dates, visit www.insidious-live.com.
