During this year’s Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group panel at Midsummer Scream, we learned that Southern California’s immersive horror experience Delusion would be returning this year, at a new location, at the Variety Arts Theater in downtown Los Angeles, with an all-new chapter: Delusion: Harrowing of Hell. This week, Thirteenth Floor shared more details around the 2025 event, including all-new event offerings.
Running from September 18 through November 9, 2025, on select nights, Delusion: Harrowing of Hell unveils a dark new chapter, promising twists, terror, and unforgettable encounters that will leave guests questioning reality itself.
“I can’t say it or hear it enough. There really is nothing in the world like Delusion. And after this season, Delusion will be the longest-running immersive theater experience in the world (go ahead and fact-check me, but it’s a waste of your time!),” said Creator of Delusion Jon Braver. “In the end, we are all about ADVENTURE! So come join us for another otherworldly experience (and see this new creature you will never, ever forget).
This season, Delusion: Harrowing of Hell explores a supernatural cult that has taken the metaphors of Dante’s Inferno too far. Convinced that the circles of hell are a necessary preparation for the afterlife, the Devotees of the Path claim to be conduits between worlds and guardians over the gates of hell. Will you follow the inscription on the arched entryway leading to the belly of the Pagan’s Path and abandon all hope? To take the Path is to endure a reflection of mortal weakness and sin. If one can survive, then paradise awaits.
Delusion will also offer an array of themed beverages and unique character interactions woven throughout guests’ visit. For those seeking something even deeper, the newly added upgrade “The Delusional: Devil in the Details” provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes journey led by the fallen angel Virgil. Guests slip into the darkness to uncover Delusion’s inner workings, witnessing up close the transformation of characters, creatures, and set design. This add-on includes a backstage tour, VIP venue entrance, access to a reserved lounge area, and a collectible credential.
Tickets for Delusion: Harrowing of Hell are on sale now, with tickets starting at $112.99 on select nights. For additional information or to purchase tickets, visit www.enterdelusion.com.
