This Halloween, New York City will host a spine-chilling, immersive experience like no other—Haunted Hollywood. Produced by Voss Events, the mastermind behind NYC’s beloved adult-themed Santa’s Secret, this exclusive event invites guests to step into a world where horror and seduction meet. Located in the grand ballroom at Circo (1604 Broadway, between 48th and 49th Streets), Haunted Hollywood promises an unforgettable evening of thrills, theatrical spectacle and tantalizing terror, all aimed at an adult audience.
Brandon Voss, creator of Haunted Hollywood, wanted to create something unique for grownups who love Halloween. “Most Halloween events in NYC are geared towards kids and teens, but Halloween is a holiday for adults too,” he says. The show aims to provide a sophisticated and playful atmosphere, where adults can immerse themselves in their favorite horror icons without the presence of children.
What makes Haunted Hollywood truly stand out is the way it reimagines legendary horror figures like Beetlejuice, Carrie, Jason, Frankenstein, and even the Phantom of the Opera. These characters are no longer the traditional nightmarish figures we know, but have been transformed into darkly seductive and alluring versions of themselves. It’s a bold reinterpretation that blurs the line between terror and temptation, giving attendees an entirely new perspective on these classic monsters.
The immersive aspect of the show allows guests to become part of the action as they are drawn into an eerie and sensual world. As the evening unfolds, the ballroom fills with haunting harmonies, setting the perfect tone for a variety of performances that captivate and terrify. The show reaches its peak with the highly anticipated “final girl” performance—a thrilling showdown in which a lone heroine fights for survival across six iconic horror films. This climactic moment will leave audience members on the edge of their seats, wondering whether she’ll overcome the evil forces closing in or fall prey to them.
In addition to the haunting performances, Haunted Hollywood offers an indulgent culinary experience. Halloween-themed cocktails, crafted by expert mixologists, will keep the spirits high throughout the night. A full menu of Latin-inspired cuisine adds a flavorful twist to the experience, making it a true feast for the senses. From eerie entertainment to delectable dining, the event is designed to be an all-encompassing celebration of horror and delight.
With a runtime of two hours, Haunted Hollywood promises to deliver a captivating evening of thrills and chills. But be warned—this experience is for mature audiences only. All attendees must be 18 or older to enter, and those who wish to indulge in the specialty cocktails will need to provide valid ID for alcohol service.
