IMMERSIVE THEATRICAL HORROR EXPERIENCE BASED ON “INSIDIOUS” FILM FRANCHISE TO VISIT THE FLORIDA THEATRE ON APRIL 2, 2025

JACKSONVILLE, FL (October 22, 2024) –– The Florida Theatre is thrilled to announce “INSIDIOUS: The Further You Fear” on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. at the historic Florida Theatre in downtown Jacksonville.  Tickets go on sale Friday, October 25, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.  Buy them at www.floridatheatre.com or the Florida Theatre Box Office at (904) 355-2787 if you dare.

 

Brace yourself for the scare of a lifetime, as the world of INSIDIOUS jumps off the screen and directly into your Florida Theatre seat with “INSIDIOUS: The Further You Fear” – a live immersive horror experience that will bring your darkest fears to life right before your eyes, based on the box office hit horror film franchise from Blumhouse, director James Wan, and writer Leigh Whannell.

 

“INSIDIOUS: The Further You Fear” is a heart-pounding live theatrical experience where the lines between reality and fiction blur, constantly challenging what’s real and what’s imagined, what’s safe and what’s dangerous.  This groundbreaking immersive experience is meticulously crafted to always keep the audience on edge, with no fourth wall to separate them -or protect them- from the unfolding terror.  Each attendee will go face-to-face with the protagonists, making the audience an integral character in the chilling story as it unravels.

 

“INSIDIOUS: The Further You Fear” is an exciting new story conceived within the INSIDIOUS universe.  Hosted as a live event by the “real” Specs and Tucker, the actual paranormal investigators who inspired the first movie, the “Spectral Sightings Road Show” soon takes a turn for the terrifying.  As the infamous duo desperately tries to prove they are legitimate ghost hunters, things start to become very insidious when a paranormal demonstration goes wrong and dark forces are inadvertently unleashed.  Trapped in a genuinely haunted theatre, with something truly sinister lurking backstage, the audience will find themselves under attack from such iconic characters as the Bride in Black, the Wheezing Man, and, of course, the terrifying Lipstick-Faced Demon.  But what’s real?  What’s the show?  And who are you really sitting next to?

 

What was meant to be a normal seminar about the paranormal has transformed into a battle for the souls of the audience.  You’ll be an active participant in this heart-pounding journey, facing eerie encounters that will leave you on the edge of your seat.  Who has been taken into the Further?  Can Astral Projections retrieve them?  What if something has escaped into our realm?

 

Through real-life interactions, jaw-dropping effects, illusionism, and state-of-the-art lighting, “INSIDIOUS: The Further You Fear” fully immerses you in the paranormal world from the comfort of your seat.  Your senses will be heightened as

you see, hear, and interact with supernatural elements, making you question what’s real and what’s not.

 

The iconic Insidious franchise, consistently gaining momentum over the years, is a box office sensation generating more than $742 million in revenue across five highly successful films.  The growing legion of fans includes an active community of five million social media followers.  However, while the show is a must for Insidious fans, it’s also created for those who don’t know the films, particularly those who love a fun, thrill-filled night out at the theatre.

 

The house is full.  The stage is set.  And the Red Door is about to open.
