GORLESQUE! THE TWISTED WORLD OF DR. WELTSCHMERZ
ANNOUNCES ITS HALLOWEEN SEASON DATES
Sexy Meets Scary in L.A.’s New Ghoulish Experience, PARADISE
GORLESQUE! THE TWISTED WORLD OF DR. WELTSCHMERZ(Gorlesque!) launches an all-new experience for L.A.’s scare fans called PARADISE, beginning Wednesday, October 19 with dates through Sunday, October 30. PARADISE is a mind-altering “haunted house”-style walkthrough experience with a sexy edge.
The experience offers a look into the twisted mind of the fictional late German scientist Dr. Weltschmerz, a man with a troubled past, a taste for beautiful women and an obsession with perfection. Long after his death, his followers formed “The Weltzie Society” to celebrate the teachings of the good doctor. Creepy perfection-obsessed “Weltzies” are the “hosts” for the evening.
Guests take a 20- to 30-minute journey through a magical “portal” that transports them to the Doctor’s version of “Paradise.” It is there that guests get a first-hand look at how twisted Dr. Weltschmerz’s psyche actually is – his obsession with sexy ladies and his desire to make them “perfect beings” for his amusement.
The Gorlesque! team, led by creators Pete Metzger and Wes Oakley, have years of experience producing haunted and Halloween events, live shows, short films and music videos. Their design of PARADISE takes the public out of their comfort zone in a more cerebral way rather than with just “jump out at you” scares. Special effects used in the “portal” distort the perception of gravity and reality, affecting visibility and balance and leaving the guest feeling appropriately unsettled.
“Most of the haunts in L.A. rely on gore to scare the guests,” says Pete. “We wanted to create an experience that’s a lot sexier and weird, but still a scary good time.”
Pete and Wes were inspired by their own horror fan memories and favorite female archetypes like Blade Runner’s Pris and Heavy Metal’s Taarna. Rather than the clichéd innocent-but-sexy-co-ed victim, Gorlesque! turns the tables by making the female characters the monsters. “The screaming girl is the reason we’re screaming!” Wes says.
