Downtown Los Angeles will soon have access to ‘Stranger Things: The’ Drive-Into ‘Experience,’ an interactive theater show, co-produced by Netflix and Fever, this October.
Participants will be safely quarantined in their cars, which they will use to literally drive through several different sets, stopping for extended periods as actors and special effects scenes bring to life around them. When scenes come to an end, the convoy will be introduced at the next location, as a new convoy takes its place. Each convoy will consist of 24 cars.
“Stranger Things has always been bigger than life and we wanted to turn the world upside down for our fans,” Greg Lombardo, head of experience at Netflix, said in a statement. ‘So buckle up as Billy drives, keep your eyes on the neon lights, and steer clear of the shadows, because there is no October telling who or what you might be getting in downtown Los Angeles. Whatever you do, do not get out of your car! ‘
Some of the sets at the overhaul will include re-releases from the Starcourt Mall, Upside Down and the Russian Labs. Visual and auditory aspects will also be set to reflect the setting of the 1980s, and some of the show’s characters will appear.
Secret Cinema, the same company that brought an immersive Starcourt Mall immersive experience to UK fans in late 2019 and early 2020, is behind the creative direction of this new event.
A waiting list is now available on the event’s website, and tickets go on sale August 26th.
