Our StoryDark Hollow Productions was founded with a simple goal, to create unforgettable live entertainment experiences, and we’ve remained focused on that goal from the start. Growing up, we each shared a fascination with theme parks, theater, and most importantly haunted houses. What started as a way to share in this mutual interest grew and developed from small, home haunt experiences in a neighborhood in Central New York, to full on technical productions operating out of a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn, NY (Brooklyn Fright Nights). We eventually reached a tipping point, having outgrown our small shell, and made a decision to organize and form our LLC. We specialize in big impact, highly theatrical experiences, delivering on larger than life show scenes and are always looking to push the boundary of special effects and immersion. Individually, our professional careers split into a number of different specialty areas, including live entertainment management, engineering, and film and television production, but we are able to combine our collective expertise in all of these fields to produce one of a kind experiences that aim to leave our audiences coming back for more.
In 2022, Dark Hollow Productions was awarded Best Set Design for their 2021 event, Brooklyn Fright Nights, by the Canadian Haunters Association.
