PDXTREME HORROR


New things are on the horizon for us. Northwest Haunt Fanatic is beginning it's own chapter in extreme immersive horror and we're calling it PDXTREME HORROR. There are no other horror simulations of this type in the Pacific Northwest, outside of shows that have traveled here for brief evenings or weekends such as BLK4M4SS' visit to Seattle and Blackout's appearance at Mount Hood.

We intend to bring this style of "extreme haunt" to the Portland area in the form of small group and solo shows with limited runs throughout the year. This will not be a haunted house. This project is more inspired by our intense and transformative encounters with Heretic's relentless brutality, Cracked's intense survival horror situations (Sam's Review, Nicci's Review), and BLK4M4SS' psychological mastery with using the guest's mind to project themselves into the show (Sam's Review, Nicci's Review).


We have been running monthly events hosting Hvrting's extreme haunt card game and have had great success so far. We've had so much fun sharing our obsession with friends (old and new!) and have had overwhelming support from the whole Hvrting and Haunting community as well. This success and excitement is part of what is making us feel like doing original extreme shows is a reality we can create if we go for it. We'll never be profitable, but if we can one day break even or not lose much, it'll honestly be a success in our eyes. Underground horror is done for passion, and we're well aware of this going in.

We are in the early stages of all of this, but we're hard at work coming up with original concepts and art for shows. We have a few solid show ideas that we are brainstorming on and we'll see what comes to fruition first! For now we're just excited to get the word out that this project is coming, and who knows, maybe we'll help inspire more of these shows to occur in the Pacific Northwest. There's definitely people up here that would love to see the scene grow!

All shows will be 18+ and will require a waiver to be signed in order to attend. Length, location and relative intensity of each show will vary based on the subject matter and will be discussed with participants as shows are announced. All shows will have safewords..

CRACKED 5 by Sam Berrett

"SAM!!!" I hear Nicci screaming in a panic as she's being violently pulled away from the group sitting on the hard, dirty floor in a tight circle. I'm grabbing her shirt and pulling her back towards me as best as possible when Mathias (who we met last year at Cracked vs. Heretic) leans over to grab her shoe and helps me get her back to us as we read Blake's now familiar 2 page oration in unison, loudly, over and over. I would have helped her more, but I was in a headlock being pulled the other direction. Teamwork. A theme that would come up more than once during the 4+ hour event. If we were going to survive this whole show, it would be as a group. I was aware that some previous shows of Cracked had 10 people enter, 1 person being the winner. This year, there was no mention of this before the show, and as the scenes unfolded, it was clear that this would not be the case for year 5. Our goal was to endure. To finish. To become part of Blake's exclusiv

BLK4M4SS - PATHOLOGY review by Sam Berrett

Where do I even start...? BL4KM4SS' immersive show, Pathology, is an ongoing show, so I won't be giving away any spoilers. This has made it challenging to find my words, as I honestly just want to gush about it and give every detail of what I went through. It was that powerful. However, I respect others' experiences and of course BL4KM4SS' request to keep details to a bare minimum, so here it is, a couple weeks after the show. Word came around the immersive horror/haunt/theater community this year that BL4KM4SS, represented by their cryptic Instagram page and unique business cards , is not to be missed. Their first shows were in LA, and we couldn't make it. We did, however, have friends involved with Haunting and Hvrting that went and highly recommended it. When word came out that they were touring with a show called Pathology and wanted to know where people wanted them to come, we of course commented to them about coming to Portland, or at least the Pacifi
