Gather up your gold stars, because you’re going to want to give this new thrilling dining and theatrical experience all 5 stars! This dinner show at the Orlando Forum brings with it an unforgettable and, at times, unearthly intrigue, and will stimulate all of your senses, as you embark on a journey into the darkness that will send chills down your spine. Enjoy a 4 course- five star gourmet meal… fitting for what one would imagine as their last supper; as your host shares stories of some of the most notorious and nefarious souls to ever walk amongst the living. Enjoy a glass of wine from their hand-crafted wine list, and be aware that these are not the only spirits that will be accompanying you on your journey. Then, finish the evening with an after show discussion and a sinfully delicious dessert.

 

Note, that this is an intense theatrical experience, and they ask that you be 16 years or older unless under direct supervision of a consenting adult.

 

If you love everything scary, you will no doubt want to relive the experience, and luckily, each week they will have different hosts or ‘mediums’, that will share different stories - so guests who survive their first show but leave blood thirsty for more, are welcome to come back and catch another show with a different story.

 

 

Also at the Orlando Forum of Fear is a haunted maze, and not just any haunted maze. This maze has been designed and executed by creative horror masterminds Patrick Braillard and Kim Gromoll, both former designers of the infamous mazes at Universal Studios Florida Halloween Horror Nights. The attraction will feature 20 masked actors, and will wind 480 linear feet of horrifying madness through the venue. Throughout the season, the maze will morph, from the ‘Tunnel of the Damned’, to the ‘City Overtaken’, and even to the, ‘Apocalypse’, so be sure you check it out and come back to brave new scares and frights all Fall long!
