One of the more well done haunts I've been to in a while. Really leaned into the stregnth of the actors and their character work and embraced the tight, old space of the building.
Does this building look familiar, Chatterers? Catch our new episode later today on 2015's Hell House LLC

Anya Rainwater taps in and out of SEPTA around 8 times a day. As a traveling case manager, she meets her clients where they are, and that means traversing Philadelphia via public transit. With SEPTA cuts looming, she’s concerned for those clients. (1/4)

There is dark irony in Meta stealing my science fiction novel about malicious AI to train their own shitty AI.
