Denver’s Drive-In Haunted House Experience

If you’re looking for a COVID-safe, haunted house experience, look no further. The Shining Light Drive-In will host a special Halloween screening of the best bad horror movies of all time. But, a series of questionable decisions sabotage the event, throwing the management, employees, and audience into the middle of a supernaturally charged horror show filled with murder, masked killers, and classic horror film tropes.

“Murder at the Drive-In” is an original horror-comedy from Audacious Theatre designed to bring pandemic-proof fun to Halloween in Denver. Audience members will remain in their cars while the story unfolds over the radio, on the movie screen, and with socially-distanced, masked performers killing and being killed all around them. Audience members can even choose to park in “murder spots” where their cars will finish the night thoroughly decorated with (washable) blood.

Presented in partnership with Edgewater Public Market, Audacious Theatre is inviting audience members to arrive early, wear their costumes, go shopping, and get refreshments from their choice of over a dozen local vendors in the Food Hall. “Murder at the Drive-In” is an opportunity to enjoy Halloween 2020 while supporting small, local businesses that have been impacted by the pandemic.

“Murder at the Drive-In” will run in the east parking lot of Edgewater Public Market, 5505 W 20th Ave in Edgewater, from Thursday, October 22 through Saturday, October 31 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 per car, and spaces are limited. For tickets and more information, visit here.

The show runs for about one hour. Audience members are asked to stay in their cars for the duration of the performance. Masks are required inside Edgewater Public Market and when interacting with “drive-in staff.” Performers will wear masks throughout the event.  This show is a humorous homage to classic horror films, and as such, it will incorporate simulated violence and gore. Many haunted house elements will be used, including blood, jump scares, and some flashing lights. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
