Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and Egan Escape Productions are joining forces to bring the ultimate horror escape experience to Las Vegas this fall. ESCAPE IT, based on Andy Muschietti’s two-part adaptation of Stephen King’s beloved 1986 magnum opus, will offer those brave enough two multi-room escape adventures, featuring more than 20 interactive rooms, state-of-the-art special FX, lighting, animatronics, and live actors to create a fully immersive and terrifying experience. Guests will rely on their critical thinking skills to make their way through many of the films’ most iconic locations, including the infamous Neibolt House, the Losers’ Clubhouse, the Derry Canal Days Festival, and most terrifying of all,  the dank sewers below Derry, Maine, all while trying to escape the clutches of the diabolical Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

IT is one of our most iconic horror film franchises and we cannot wait for fans to be able to come face-to-face with the infamous Pennywise and the town of Derry in a way they’ve never experienced before,” says Peter van Roden, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to work with Egan Escape Productions as they are experts in the space bringing complexity and attention to every detail to help bring our immersive horror experiences to the next level.”

Egan Escape Productions previously launched the wildly successfully Escape Blair Witch and The Official Saw Escape also located in Las Vegas. If you’d like to gather your very own Losers’ Club and face the terrors of the deadlights for real, go to escapeit.com to sign up for news and updates.
