Inspired by the City and The Mint, local producers, artists, designers, and veteran fear experts have combined actual history with modern technological effects to create this interactive haunt experience.

“I’ve been obsessed with going to haunted houses and watching horror movies since I was a kid, so being able to bring this vision to reality as an adult is beyond exciting for me,” said Peaches Christ, one of the creative minds behind Terror Vault. “I love San Francisco history, especially the dark history, and it’s an incredible opportunity to bring something all-new and never done before here to the city – and what better place than in the ‘Granite Lady’ herself.”

Guests can enter the Terror Vault now through Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018. The experience lasts approximately 45 minutes in groups up to 12, with tickets available every half hour between 6:30 – 10 p.m.

The brave souls seeking to enter the vault can enjoy the full liquor cash bar before or after their allotted experience time. The bar will be open every night of the production. Guests must be ages 21 or over to experience the Terror Vault, and tickets are $60 per person.

 

The experience begins after guests have had a bit of liquid courage from the bar. They are then broken up into small groups before meeting Tina, their tour guide for the night.

Tina will lead her guests into the dark, narrow back staircase of The Mint where they will interact with a number of terrifying characters who, as the story goes, were once kept in a secret prison in the dungeons below ground.

Guests who aren’t comfortable interacting with the Vault’s more murderous inhabitants can opt-out anytime by wearing a special neon necklace which signals to the scareactors that the guest does not wish to interact with them and lets the guest experience the story as it unfolds around them.

“Having this attraction within The San Francisco Mint enables us to really let our creativity run wild, fusing the natural history with the space and the scare factor these old vaults have on their own,” said David Flower, another creator of Terror Vault. “Then we can come in and build upon it. Terror Vault features new technology and veteran tricks of the trade for a terrifying experience unlike any other.”

In addition to Terror Vault, In the Dark has also introduced another attraction at The Mint, an interactive game called Dead Zone: Zombie Tag. Dead Zone uses technology put into a small device that players wear on their shirts. The tag will display a green light as long as the player hasn’t come into contact with a zombie. Once a player is bitten, though, they only have seconds to live!

Dead Zone: Zombie Tag is located on the main level of the building, and is open from 7-11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays now through Nov. 3. Tickets are $19.95 each, and participants must be ages 10 or older.
