Hollywood Gothique: The Summoning stakes a claim to greatness

Hollywood Gothique, the Guide to Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi & Entertainment in LA, gave the experience a 4.5 (with 5 being the highest rating), saying "If The Summoning is not reason enough to visit San Francisco this Halloween season, we cannot imagine what is. (It) enlists audiences into a human-vs-vampire conflict staged in the depths of the San Francisco Mint, where the undead dine and pillage, and the LGBTQ vibes ring loud and proud.”

“Year after year, local drag legend Peaches Christ’s demonic attraction Terror Vault is a haunted house on haunted steroids, an interactive nightmare with a complex narrative and dozens of actors.”

“This year’s installment, dubbed The Summoning, involves three entirely separate time periods and numerous highly curated thrills (and gross-outs). If you’re the kind of person who thinks a peeled grape and some wet spaghetti in the dark is sufficiently scary, kindly move on.”
