Haunted Soiree: A Macabre Cocktail Party - Théâtre du Vaurien

House of Spirits is an avant-garde, 21+ event that promises an unforgettable night. With its stylish décor, craft cocktails, and interactive entertainment, this soirée is ideal for those seeking a sophisticated Halloween experience in Los Angeles. There are a few ticket options, but the gold ticket package also includes a special creature interaction that leaves guests with delicious, rich chocolates. I had the pleasure of attending House of Spirits, an immersive theatrical cocktail soirée in Los Angeles. This sophisticated evening exceeded my expectations, offering an eerie blend of macabre entertainment, surreal magic, and memorable interactions. I love immersive theatre, but open world exploration is my favorite style because it allows me to decide which characters to interact with and how long I want to explore each space.

The Haunted Soiree offered a wonderful mix of activities that can suit just about any adult crowd. For those looking to indulge in creative cocktails while taking a laid-back approach will enjoy the handful of beverage choices available. For those looking to dive deeper into the story, there are plenty of characters to interact with, as well as a few fun challenges. Entertainment is plentiful, all backed with wonderful lighting and atmosphere. One major drawback however is the large crowd, which diminishes the experience. Hallways and rooms are flooded, increasing wait times for some of the experiences (especially the restroom). Unfortunately, this is made worse by rowdy audience members, some of which behave immaturely and destroy the immersive mood. This is not to take away from the amazing talent, though. Kudos to the actors, performers, and staff. Performances were strong and repeated throughout the night, giving everyone a chance to view it. Characters told wonderful stories to those brace enough to ask. Overall, The Haunted Soiree was a wonderful and entertaining adventure and was one of the best offerings the spooky season has to offer.
