In case you don’t know, Tour of Terror is the Halloween version of the  ZJU’s signature show, Urban Death, a series of horror vignettes designed to shock, delight and titillate audiences. This is in-your-face grand guignol piece of immersive theatre that is designed to illicit a reaction. The show will steer theatre-goers and thrill-seekers through a terrifying performance and maze of inexplicable horrors, unfathomable monstrosities, and the disturbing spirits that walk among us.

There will be five performances a night.  The audience is led through the maze in groups of two or three with only a muted flashlight to guide them. Once through the maze and into the theater the flashlight is taken away and the show begins. After the show they are again given flashlights to walk back through the maze, where new performances and haunted surprises await them.

 
The fifth year promises to be the biggest, scariest and best yet, as co-directors and creators Zombie Joe and Jana Wimer keep pushing the show to new heights. Drawing on twelve years of Urban Death performances, the duo knows exactly how to twist the knife. The maze and show has evolved each year, pushing into new and surprising territory and promising an unforgettable experience for newcomers and returning fans.
