Be the First to Experience Insidious: The Further You Fear

Brace yourself for the scare of a lifetime as the world of Insidious jumps off the screen and directly into your theater seat at Walton Arts Center with Insidious: The Further You Fear. Experience this live immersive horror experience that will bring your darkest fears to life right before your eyes, based on the hit horror film franchise.

​

Insidious: The Further You Fear is a heart-pounding 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. This groundbreaking theater experience is meticulously crafted 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. 

​

Insidious: The Further You Fear is an exciting new story conceived within the Insidious universe. 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 theater, with something truly sinister lurking backstage, the audience will find themselves under attack from such iconic characters as the Bride in Black, the Wheezing Man and, of course, the terrifying Red Face Demon. But what’s real? What’s the show? And who are you really sitting next to?

Walton Arts Center is hosting technical rehearsals for the production before it launches on a national tour. That means you can be one of the first in the country to experience this new production at 8 p.m. on Jan. 18.

​

Technical rehearsals for the cast and crew will be held two weeks leading up to the first public performances. Called “teching,” this is when 25-75 cast and crew members pull together all the technical elements of the show in one location to rehearse and prepare for its life on the road. This is usually the first time that lighting, sets, costumes, actors and the orchestra are all in one place. 

​

Shows need a full-scale theater and a live audience to get the show ready. Watching and listening to the reactions of the first audience gives the artistic staff information about parts of the show that need some fine-tuning. These initial performances are an integral part of the theatrical process and something few audiences are able to witness.  

​

Teching is also a huge benefit to the economy, bringing dozens of actors, cast and crew to the area, where they support local hotels, restaurants, hardware stores, yoga studios, coffee shops and more while they are here. 

​

The house is full. The stage is set. And the Red Door is about to open. Are you ready? Grab tickets today and dive into the spine-chilling world of Insidious.
