Last year, we did something unprecedented in New York—we turned our lab into The Haunted Laboratory and proved that STEM could own Halloween. One city. One theme. One unforgettable experiment.
This year? We’re not just repeating the formula. We’re shattering it.
2025 marks our first national Halloween expansion, and I refused to take the easy route. No cookie-cutter experiences. No “same theme, different address” approach. Instead, we spent months designing four completely unique worlds—each rooted in its city’s DNA, each pushing the boundaries of immersive science entertainment.
We learned from New York. Now we’re ready to haunt the nation.
🎓 NYC: The Forsaken University
Welcome back to school. You’re going to wish you’d dropped out.
New York returns with a new nightmare: a haunted university where the final exam is survival. Picture ivy-covered halls gone wrong—lecture rooms where experiments never ended, dormitories where something still studies by candlelight, libraries where the books whisper formulas that shouldn’t exist.
Inside the cursed campus:
Clandestine chemistry “lectures” in abandoned classrooms. Potions served from the Dean’s private collection (aka our bar)
Secret society rituals disguised as scientific demonstrations. DJs spinning in the underground student lounge, where the expelled still party, Professors who never left… and experiments that never stopped. The syllabus is forbidden knowledge. Attendance is mandatory. Extra credit if you survive.
👽 Miami: Area 51 Declassified
The government lied. We have the proof.
Miami becomes a classified research facility where alien autopsies meet bioluminescent beach parties. We’re talking extraterrestrial experiments in Art Deco containment units, specimens that glow under UV light, and cocktails formulated from “recovered materials.”
Your clearance includes:
Live alien specimen examinations (the science is real, the terror is optional)
Cosmic cocktails that change color and smoke like they’re from another atmosphere
UFO crash site photo ops with actual scientific demonstrations
DJs spinning intergalactic bass that’ll make you believe in communication beyond Earth
Top-secret experiments declassified for one night only
They said the truth would set you free. They never said it wouldn’t terrify you first.
💀 Houston: Día de los Muertos
Death isn’t an ending here. It’s an invitation.
Houston embraces Día de los Muertos with the reverence it deserves and the spectacle it demands. Our lab transforms into an ofrenda where science and spirituality dance together—marigold pathways lit by chemical reactions, sugar skull demonstrations using molecular gastronomy, and celebrations that honor tradition while innovating it. We’re celebrating it with every element we know—including the periodic table.
🧪 LA: The Unethical Experiment
In Los Angeles, we found the mad scientist who never learned the word “no.”
Welcome to Dr. Vex’s laboratory, where human testing isn’t just permitted—it’s encouraged. This isn’t horror movie props. It’s a working lab run by a scientist who believes morals are merely suggestions and consent forms are… optional. Hollywood polish meets genuine scientific chaos.
Subjects will experience:
Live “testing” where guests become part of twisted experiments
Specimen cocktails served in beakers, syringes, and test tubes (you’re the variable). Surgical theater demonstrations with real chemistry and theatrical carnage. Medical-grade fog systems pumping through containment chambers
DJs spinning industrial sounds in the observation deck. Photo ops in restraint chairs, examination tables, and specimen tanks.
The Method Behind the Madness
Here’s what I realized building this: expansion isn’t about scaling—it’s about specificity.
Each city has its own relationship with fear, celebration, and nightlife. New York wants intellectual darkness. Miami craves otherworldly spectacle. Houston honors ancestral tradition. LA demands theatrical extremes.
So we gave them exactly that. With beakers.
This year’s evolution proves something bigger: that educational entertainment can be locally rooted and nationally ambitious. That science adapts. That the same periodic table looks different when filtered through four distinct cultural lenses. We’re not building a brand. We’re building a movement—one city, one theme, one unforgettable night at a time.
Choose Your Fear
Four cities. Four worlds. Four reasons to believe STEM is culture.
All experiences run through October 31st. Each location operates independently with its own vibe, music, and scientific demonstrations. Tickets include full immersive access, one specialty drink, and experiments you won’t forget.
Last year, New York started something. This year, we prove it wasn’t a fluke—it’s a future.
See you in whatever nightmare you choose.
