Brian Sanders’ 2ND SANCTUARY
a new multi-faceted Halloween experience
for people looking for an alternative to the typical fall gore
“When Brian Sanders takes you into his world, you rarely know what kind of magical, outlandish, Tim Burton-meets-Cirque du Soleil-type place you might be entering. “ ~ Philadelphia Inquirer
Five components:
Phantom Portal Telecom Tour in the Spectral Garden Chapel*
Sanders takes you on a spirited tour of the 1970s – by way of phone booths and other unexpected transportation. Virtual Reality combined with live action and immersive theater bring you down a rabbit hole into a one-of-a-kind, mind-bending adventure, full of thrills and nostalgia.
Dancing Dead Live in the Hall of the Dearly Departed*
Brian Sanders' trippy, witty dance with the undead is the story of an old man dancing with death and watching his friends pass on. He roller-skates around an indoor field of grass, or wheels through on a bicycle. He waltzes with a skeleton, peers into a skull, and digs up his pals.…..It’s walking dead, easy listening style, with the sweet soundtrack of the 70s.
Zoltan’s Zarkade in the Lost Lodge*
Kid Scout Troop 383 used to meet in the lodge on the third floor of The Sanctuary…that is until, one by one, they all mysteriously vanished in the fall of 1975. What fate befell these brave souls? Solve the mystery of their disappearance before you succumb to whatever dark fate befell them? An escape room mystery for 8-20 players
Labyrinth of the Stone Cold Heart in the Reanimation Rectory
Venture in and feast your ears on hard rock love of the 70’s. A diabolical indoor maze for the rocker at heart.
Zombie Disco until midnight at the Altar of Summer (with the Bits and Pieces Potion Bar)
Celebrate the night disco died while enjoying gritty potions of the era. Recall the tale of the final night. The night the cake was left out in the rain.
