Ever wonder what it’s like to join a cult?
Get a peek inside that world, minus the commitment, with a limited revival of Terror Vault’s “The Initiation.” The popular walk-through horror show is the sixth Terror Vault haunted attraction at the San Francisco Mint produced by Into the Dark, launched by David Flower Productions, Non Plus Ultra and the drag queen of Halloween, Peaches Christ.
The hourlong experience, which debuted on Sept. 29 and ran through Halloween, is set to return to the Mint for four nights on Feb. 23-24 and March 1-2.
With elements of an interactive haunted house and full-blown theatrical performance, “The Initiation” features several live performers, jump scares and gruesome visual effects. Guests must navigate their way through winding passageways and creepy rooms in order to get initiated into a cult called Insight.
Previous Terror Vault attractions include 2021’s “Immortal Reckoning” and last year’s “The Summoning.”
“The Initiation”: 6-9 p.m. Feb. 24-25 and March 1-2. $70. San Francisco Mint, 88 Fifth St., S.F. intothedarksf.com
Also returning is Terror Vault’s themed bar called the Fang Bang, which features specialty cocktails.
The experience is not for the faint of heart; those who are extra daring can purchase a glow-in-the-dark necklace to wear throughout the attraction, signaling consent to have performers touch them.
Tickets are available online and must be purchased for specific time slots, which begin at 6 p.m. and continue every 15 minutes until 9 p.m.
