In this episode, we wish a fond farewell to the 2018 haunt season. We catch up on all the things we’ve done in the last episode including Mike’s trip back to Boston to experience “Fall” (that’s a season!). Before that trip, we see the last Dirty Tricks of the year with the New Bad Boys of a Magic. Russell gets stranded on Boney Island and is saved and escorted out by a Los Angeles Haunted Hayride. We return to Theatre Macabre before they close their curtains. While half of My Haunt Life is on the other coast, Russell is able to see Force of Nature Productions “Fallen Saints”, then visits the world’s tiniest haunted house at Starmakers Costumes, and is able to attend some home haunts including Rotten Apple 907, The Farm, and Van Oaks Cemetery. If that wasn’t enough, he then is able to escape from Reality X, visits the mausoleum with Wicked Lit, heads to “Kansas” to see some familiar faces with Chapter 7: The Heart from the Speakeasy Society, then gets his 70’s fix on with Safehouse ’77. If that wasn’t enough, he talks about his second trips through Creep LA and Delusion: The Blue Blade. Meanwhile, back in the crisp Autumn air, Mike is able to visit Demented FX as well as a production of Sleepy Hollow at his favorite field trip spot as a kid, Ol’ Sturbridge Village.

Beware of Reality X. Booked Suspicion and Welcome Home for 8 people and paid nearly $900. Booked travel to LA specifically for these events. Reality X cancelled one event a couple days before I left Chicago for LA and canceled the other event the day of the event, which was after I arrived in LA. Reached out to Amy, the creative director, by email and telephone to no avail. Now having to dispute charges through credit card company. Stay away.
Read the Yelp reviews for “Immerse Yourself.” The owners changed the company’s name on yelp from Reality X to “immerse yourself” because of the reviews.

Wow. Very sorry to hear about your experience. Since my experience with them, I have noticed a few negative reviews but my personal encounter with them was positive. Such negative experiences can tarnish the entire immersive scene and I hope your situation gets resolved quickly.
Thank you for letting us know about this.
