Ancient curses, sonic secrets, and demonic possession intertwine during Angel of Light, a haunting new theatrical immersive experience debuting in Los Angeles on September 15. The Angel of Light experience and storyline serves as a prequel to the upcoming film Hex. (It’s set for a 2025 release as part of an anthology from Parma Pictures.)
Earlier this year, Fever, an immersive experience ticketing platform, offered tickets for Stranger Things: The Experience and the Icons of Darkness Exhibition. Now, they’re teaming up with ODEON, a leader in immersive experiences and technology, to transport audiences back in time to Old Hollywood. And what better place to do it than the historic Los Angeles Theatre?
During the 60-minute experience, guests will be granted “unprecedented access” to the historic venue. They’ll traverse underground Catacombs, theater dressing rooms, and a grandeur-filled ballroom complete with eerie and demonic characters —all while being guided through “various immersive spaces that fuse technology with live theater.”
“The second guests step through the threshold of the theater, they will be fully transported back in time to relive the chilling tale of the Angel of Light curse,” Chris Anastas, Angel of Light co-creator and the writer and creator of Hex, explained. “Through a captivating fusion of technology and classic theater with live actor interactions, our goal is to create a truly innovative, unforgettable immersive horror experience.”
Sounds intriguing, right? Let’s check it out in more detail.
About the Experience
Set in the 1930s, guests are transported back to the Hollywood Golden Age to see Rota K. Preston’s debut vocal performance at the Los Angeles Theatre.
However, unbeknownst to the audience, the ancient Angel of Light curse is revived that evening. Attendees will relive the chaotic and unsettling tale through the combination of live performances, elaborate sets, and ornate artistry.
Sights and sounds combine for a truly immersive experience. Advanced technology includes Dolby Atmos sound, projection mapping, shifting light and music, and power strobe lights. Then there’s the LED Possession Cube room, which projects a kaleidoscope of mind-bending images and footage from inside Rota’s mind. The experience culminates in a finale live performance by Rota in the main theater, which is said to leave “a haunting impact.”
“From our original recordings of late 20s and 30’s music to the unique custom soundscape creation that spans over 30 rooms of audio, which includes notable Dolby Atmos experiences, audiences will delve into the chilling depths of horror and be immersed in a world that blurs the line between reality and nightmares,” Mark Binder, Angel of Light co-creator and Hex collaborator, said.
Angel Of Light Backstory
The story unfolds in the early nineteenth century when a hexed girl, Rota Krisha, plagues a small rural village. The villagers turn to Father Nicolai, a priest known for his “spiritual sound healing,” who discovers that specific structures elicit a binaural effect when singing or chanting is performed within them.
Hoping to summon an angel to counter the evil presence, the villagers bring Rota into the ancient catacombs for a special ceremony. However, it takes a dark turn when Satan himself is unleashed, wreaking havoc among those present.
The events unfold in a cataclysm of horror and chaos, but Rota Krisha manages to escape to America, where her life remains uneventful. That is until she marries a sound engineer in Los Angeles…

The Angel of Light experience will also offer food and beverage items for guests and a special limited VIP Experience from Friday, October 13, through October 31.
