Let me begin this by saying the same thing I always say: Drunken Devil knows how to throw one hell of a party. For the past few years, each successive party they have thrown has gotten better and better, incorporating burlesque, music, immersive theater, and more into incredible atmospheres and environments. However, this September, they are tackling a DIFFERENT type of gathering: a dinner party.

The Passport to Fear events are one-night, special ticketed meet-ups at the best haunts in southern California. We take you behind the scenes, introduce you to the creators of the haunted attractions you love, and march you to the front of the line. It’s a guided tour of terror sold only by HorrorBuzz. 

Tickets to the four events are on sale NOW  here on the site.

Called To Live and Di(n)e in LA, this theatrical dining experience will be part of Think Tank Gallery’s latest art show, Drinkin’, Smokin’, and West Coastin’ – billed as a “group love/hate letter to the city,” with a creative take by local event producers each night.

To Live and Di(n)e in LA is an intimate, 45-person supper club, where guests will sit down for dinner with the ghosts of the most infamous figures in Los Angeles’ true crime history, as they navigate the city’s sordid past through cuisine, cocktails, and cabaret-type performances.

“While we’ve had such great success with our past parties, Bloody Gras and Curse of the Jungle Drums, I want to return to my roots by providing something much smaller and much more sinister than anything we’ve produced as a company,” says Matt Dorado, the Creator and Executive Producer of Drunken Devil. “I’ve been craving the opportunity to produce a dining experience, and I think this will be a phenomenal first entry for the company.”

In To Live and Di(n)e in LA, guests will sit down for dinner with the dead, as they come face-to-face with Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia; Harvey Glatman, infamously nicknamed the “Glamour Girl Slayer” for his harrowing methods of killing aspiring young models in the late 1950’s; Susan Atkins, one of the most prominent members of the Manson Family (although Charles will not appear, his ominous presence will be noticeable throughout the event); and Richard Ramirez, also known as the “Night Stalker,” who terrorized suburban Los Angeles for years.

The menu will be created by Felix Barron, executive chef of KTCHNLA. Each course will be based off of a different figure and different era, with thematically appropriate cocktails paired to each dish.

“For example, as you sip cocktails and enjoy hors d’oeuvres inspired by the Black Dahlia and frenzy of the city circa 1947, you’ll be mingling with Elizabeth Short and a host of characters from that time period. Then, you’ll sit down for the first course and find yourself in 1958, as Harvey Glatman’s story unfolds before you,” says Dorado. “The food interweaves with the theatrical and interactive elements, creating an entirely unique narrative.”

In between courses, guests will experience dark burlesque, performance art, and more that will help guide the the story. “Theatrical, cabaret-type performances are integral to the Drunken Devil experience, and we have a number of eye-popping acts that we’re excited to bring to the event,” Dorado says.

To Live and Di(n)e in LA will take place at Think Tank Gallery, 939 S Maple Ave, Los Angeles, 90014, on Thursday, September 21, 2017. The event begins with a cocktail hour at 7:00pm. Tickets are $165.00 and include the four-course meal, cocktails, and performances. Only 45 tickets are available. 21+.

Guests will be required to sign a waiver of consent, as some of the interactive moments may involve contact with actors. Audience members should also note that To Live and Di(n)e in LA explores mature subject matter including violence and disturbing sexual content.
