Horror LARP

Hello everyone.  I know it has been too long since I wrote on this but I will hopefully be more mindful.  Thank You for your patients.

Today I was discussing one of my ideas of many that may actually have some credit.  Haha.  I was talking with a friend about a movie I watched which involved LARPing of course the classic design of medieval battles and thought to myself with all these haunts and professional persons who design them, how come I never seen a horror LARP.

Imagine one person being the killer while others being victims.  Set designs made to carry out the acts.  Puzzles to solve in order to win the game.  Make-up, trap doors, secret rooms, and labs.  All of those out there with imaginations formulating a way to escape for a weekend by being in a world of imagination based on horror movies.

I think the possibilities are limitless.  Only bounded by the horror genre and all of its glory.  It could be a camp time slaughter with a murdering mad man or zombies buried in the woulds hungry for campers.  It could be a space station where murderous aliens are attacking the doctors and scientist aboard.  A mysterious mansion where people are trying to win the inheritance from a dead relative who is haunting the house to execute those he/she does not like.  A rave party gone wrong or a terrifying circus of nightmares. There is so many genres and who did not want to be in a horror movie.  Now is your chance.

I am putting this out there to see if there is an interest and maybe inspire those who can do this to create this new genre of LARPing.  I would love to but I do not know the first step in doing so besides creating the story.  I am also in return asking for people to give information so I too could create this moment, this adventure and I figure the best way to do that is with help from you who are experienced.  I hope this inspires you and I will create more on this site including rules and how the game should play to an extent because it is really up to the players.  Thank you for your time.
