About Us

How We Run It

Eye Contact, Not A Bullhorn

The giants herd fifty or more through the streets. We do it differently, on purpose.

Small Groups On Purpose

We aim to keep our groups smaller than our competitors run theirs. Big enough for energy, small enough that you can hear the story and ask a question.

Four Months Of Training

That is how long it takes before a host takes a group out alone. Delivering a chill is a craft, and the history behind it has to be right.

No Jump Scares

Nobody leaps out of the shadows in a costume. People still get spooked. We call it creepy and atmospheric rather than terrifying, and we mean it.
