LONG BEACH, CA (August 26, 2025) – The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor: Summoned by the Seas rises once more from the depths, shrouding Long Beach in its fog of terror. Opening September 19th and running select nights through November 2nd, with tickets starting  at $45.99. The world’s most haunted vessel will again be transformed into a domain of dread, where shadows stalk the decks and sinister secrets lurk in every corridor. Guests will encounter the chilling return of Dark Harbor’s iconic monsters, navigate ghastly mazes, and surrender to eerie live entertainment that echoes across the harbor. From cursed speakeasies and haunted lounges to spectral encounters and devilish bites, the Queen Mary becomes a port for the damned unlike any other. 

Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, the world’s leading Halloween-themed entertainment company, once again descends upon Southern California to summon the shadows and breathe life into one of Halloween’s most legendary experiences. This season, familiar nightmares will resurface as new terrors and twisted characters emerge from the depths, weaving fresh storylines into the haunted lore. For those brave or foolish enough, season passes return, granting fans endless passage back into the abyss, where the horrors of the season await night after night.

“Last year we came out of the gate strong with our first returning year of Dark Harbor: The Spirits Rise,” says Amy Hollaman, Senior Regional Manager at Dark Harbor. “In 2025, we intend to dive further into the stories of the spirits of The Queen Mary. We will be taking scares into spectacular new heights and will be bringing a haunted festival feeling that Long Beach has never seen before.”

Mazes at Dark Harbor include:

• Voodoo: The Queens Curse - New! A ruthless Priestess rises from a decayed bayou to seize the Queen Mary’s power, commanding Loa, raising the dead, and marking anyone who strays too close. Stumble through potion shops, coffin factories, and poppet-stuffed shacks before a barnstorming finale where lightning crackles overhead and zombie sailors surge below. 
• Breakout: Maximum Security - reimagined for 2025! The mystery of stateroom B340 takes a brutal turn in 1948: Samuel the Savage survives and is hauled to a seaside village prison, until he shatters his cell with unnatural force. You’re processed as the new inmate while alarms scream, guards fall, and Samuel hunts. Can the walls hold him… or you?
• Feast: The Final Cut - reimagined for 2025! Step behind the ship’s kitchens for the twisted origin of The Chef, once a handsome, ambitious butcher who grew resentful of first-class passengers and added a “special ingredient” no one could quite place. Winding deeper, you’ll hit blood-slick restrooms, a pantry stacked with plates… and body parts, before the stoves roar to life and victims simmer. This is the final year of Feast, reimagined with a more cannibalistic climax that leads to a grotesque classroom banquet.
• Big Top Terror - Step right up to a cursed carnival where the Ringmaster, no longer man nor woman, bartered their soul for immortality and now feeds a fog-soaked circus that traps the unwary. 
• Infirmary - A maniacal surgeon, Dr. Edwin Masters, and his accomplice Graceful Gale prey on the ship’s most vulnerable, masquerading as high-society darlings topside while their victims pile up below.  
• Lullaby - In the glow of the first-class swimming pool, Scary Mary returns, playful giggles masking a vortex to the underworld that’s grown too powerful to contain. Born from a 1952 tragedy, Mary once tugged sleeves to keep the living away; now the rift’s demons twist her into the singer of your final lullaby. ​

​
Guests can enhance their Dark Harbor descent with sinister indulgences that draw you deeper into the ship’s haunted grasp. Beyond the mazes lie trials and temptations designed to test both courage and soul, from the Pirate’s Plunder Shootout, a frenzied contest of marksmanship amidst cursed buccaneers, to the gleaming blades of Anchor Axe, where each throw resounds like a tolling bell for the damned. Carnival fiends may embrace unlimited rides, while puzzle-seekers dare the torment of a ticking mini escape room. Should guests crave a fleeting sweetness amid the dread, the S’mores Package invites them to conjure their own fireside treat.

Step into darker realms of storytelling with premium experiences that blur ritual and nightmare. Within Trick ’r Treat at Verse Immersive, Halloween’s darkest traditions erupt in an interactive mixed-reality fever dream. Join Lady Mabel for a chilling séance in The Summoning of Samuel, or uncover hidden speakeasies scattered throughout Dark Harbor with her exclusive Foresight Four Pack, which includes a group astrology reading and mystic tokens for secret entry. Digital photo album access ensures every scream, scare, and memory is captured to relive long after the fog clears.doors unlocked only by mystic tokens included in Lady Mabel’s Foresight Four Pack, which entwines guests in group astrology readings and occult prophecy.

LOS ANGELES, August 26, 2025— Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, the world’s premier Halloween-themed entertainment company, invites thrill-seekers to step into the world of Delusion. For over a decade, this groundbreaking immersive theater experience has drawn audiences into a story where they are not just spectators but participants as well, making every choice part of the unfolding nightmare. Returning this year, at a new location, at the Variety Arts Theater in downtown Los Angeles, “Delusion: Harrowing of Hell” unveils a dark new chapter, promising twists, terror, and unforgettable encounters that will leave guests questioning reality itself.

Running from September 18th through November 9th on select nights, guests will become key players in a sinister and entangled escapade. Tickets for “Delusion: Harrowing of Hell” are on-sale now with tickets starting at $112.99 on select nights. Guests are highly encouraged to sign up on the website at enterdelusion.com for early access while supplies last. You can view the 2025 trailer here.

I can't say it or hear it enough. There really is nothing in the world like Delusion. And after this season, Delusion will be the longest running immersive theater experience in the world (go ahead and fact check me but it's a waste of your time!),” said Creator of Delusion  Jon Braver. “In the end, we are all about ADVENTURE! So come join us for another otherworldly experience (and see this new creature you will never, ever forget).

This season, “Delusion: Harrowing of Hell”  explores a supernatural cult that has taken the metaphors of Dante’s inferno too far. Convinced that the circles of hell are a necessary preparation for the afterlife, the Devotees of the Path claim to be conduits between worlds and guardians over the gates of hell. Will you follow the inscription on the arched entry way leading to the belly of the Pagan’s Path and abandon all hope? To take the Path is to endure a reflection of mortal weakness and sin. If one can survive, then paradise awaits.

Delusion will also offer an array of themed beverages and unique character interactions woven throughout guests' visit. For those seeking something even deeper, the newly added upgrade “The Delusional: Devil in the Details” provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes journey led by the fallen angel Virgil. Guests slip into the darkness to uncover Delusion's inner workings, witnessing up close the transformation of characters, creatures, and set design. This add-on includes a backstage tour, VIP venue entrance, access to a reserved lounge area, and a collectible credential.
