— 088.5 Lisa’s Loft – A Quiet Place vs. Bird Box

When trailers first aired for the Columbia Pictures film Escape Room, I was skeptical about whether the film would offer more than a gimmick-filled, cheap thrill. Regardless, the movie’s premise did offer an opportunity for a fun-filled, psychological experiment that I just couldn’t pass up: Would watching Escape Room immediately before doing an escape room enhance the escape room experience? To put this question to the test, I recruited a team of willing friends to go to an evening showing of the film followed immediately by a late-night escape room.

For a full analysis of the film, check out our podcast episode. But if you haven’t yet seen the film or listened to our take, it’s enough to note that the movie does incorporate many classic escape room style puzzles in life-or-death scenarios that heighten the tension of escaping the room beyond the normal time-crunch. One scene uses an x-ray viewer as part of a puzzle, which is a device I had used in an escape room previously, so I enjoyed the clever incorporation of details used to create the atmosphere. If nothing else, the movie did a good job of heightening your immediate sense of claustrophobia, so after watching the film no one was terribly eager to be locked in a Wild-West themed room for an hour.

You read that right. Our room’s theme was Wild-West bank heist. My goal was to find something at least a little bit creepy, and unfortunately, that was the best we could find that night. There were two mannequins in the room reminiscent of the extremely creepy mannequin receptionist in the film, but nothing particularly frightening beyond that. Any fear induced by the film was quickly forgotten in our the race to puzzle it out and beat the clock. In all honesty, the walk from the theater to the escape room was probably the scariest part of the whole night because we had to go down a couple deserted alleys and hallways.

Final Cut: I would highly recommend incorporating this into your viewing experience of the film if you are able, especially if you find a somewhat creepy and ~immersive~ escape room. While the movie wasn’t quite scary enough to impact our time in the escape room, it was at the least a memorable night out with friends.

If you give this a try, let us know in the comments or on our social platforms, we’d love to hear about your experience. And please let us know if you’ve found an actually scary escape room because we would love to check it out!

— Year in Review 2018 – Part 2

Are you afraid of commitment? Or have you already fallen off your resolution 3 days into 2019? Don’t let your new year’s resolution get you down – here are just a few ideas of new year’s resolutions for the horror fanatic!

1) Get in shape.

“Zombie races” are a fun and frightful way to train for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. They have normal 5ks, mud runs, and other variations that let you pick your poison. Typically, runners will wear flags that volunteer zombies will try to remove. If you make it to the finish without dying (losing all your flags) you get extra recognition. This is a favorite of Mitch and Lisa’s, who have participated in several over the years!

2) Read more books.

With the new Pet Sematary adaptation coming out in April, now is the perfect time to revisit the Stephen King classic in print, or read one of his newer releases like The Outsider which won the Goodreads Choice Award for 2018. Or check out the 2018 release from one of TPM’s favorite podcasts (besides TPM of course) Lore, Aaron Mahnke’s The World of Lore: Dreadful Places that explores real places where human horror or supernatural events have taken place.

3) Learn a new supernatural skill.

Take up photography so you can document any supernatural occurrences. Learn how to do horror makeup (this is an awesome skill to have). Like to bake? Try making some horror themed desserts like ghost cookies or a ouija board cake. The possibilities are endless!

Have another horror-related resolution in mind? Let us know your 2019 plans in the comments.
