Delusion: Harrowing Of Hell
Continuing the Halloween theme in Los Angeles after going on a Chinatown ghost hunt and attending a festive funeral procession, I decided to take the plunge and check out this year’s Delusion haunted house experience.

Wink World at Area 15
After checking into Wink World and putting on a pair of (optional) 3D glasses, I was told to make my way past a series of psychedelic 3D framed paintings to the end of the hallway. From there, a series of small rooms with funhouse mirrors and wacky objects illuminated by blacklights and other whimsical…
