When anarchists armed with military weapons order you to kneel on a concrete floor, it’s disturbing. It doesn’t matter if the guns are fake and the terrorists simply actors in Blumhouse Productions’ new Halloween experience The Purge: Fear the Night. It’s all very unsettling.

Inspired by Blumhouse Productions’ box office hit The Purge and set in a six-story building in downtown Los Angeles, the attraction puts guests in the middle of a political upheaval between the country’s New Founding Fathers and revolutionaries identified as Constitutionalists on the one night of the year when all criminal behavior is permissible by law, including murder.

The experience is interactive and crazy intense, especially if you commit to the 45-minute story that pits you and a group of NFF delegates against Constitutionalists looking for a presidential key card to blow some shit up. My wife, Mrs. Muertos, and I agreed early on to go with the flow regardless of what happened. We would regret that almost immediately.

Just minutes after our group was taken hostage by Constitutionalists, who made us kneel and lock arms, Mrs. Muertos was ripped away from me by a gun-wielding woman demanding she help find her husband. I assumed we’d meet up soon, but that was not the case. For the remainder of the experience, we faced the night’s horrors separated from each other.

Like being told to kneel, being parted from one another was troubling despite the knowledge that this was all made up. It’s a testament to the event’s intensity. It gets in your head (especially with the aid of libations). My wife was put in quarantine and interrogated by another band of Constitutionalist before joining a new group of NFF delegates.

My group raced through decrepit apartments, hospitals, parks, alleys and government offices, chased by Purging hooligans, vagrants and military snipers. Along the way, I witnessed a young woman give birth, numerous shooting deaths, chained female captives, and two sexy masked strippers, one of which wore a black thong up her shapely big ass (kinda glad the wife wasn’t around for that part).

The Purge: Fear the Night is a unique experience that movie fans should not miss. It is our favorite Halloween event this year. But be warned: there are only five nights left (Oct. 29-Nov. 2). To purchase tickets and for complete event details, visit www.purgelive.com.
