Mexico City.- No more than two hours from the CDMX, several houses open their doors to show your courage. Pachuca
Inside the Old Red Cross Hospital of Pachuca, a small girl was murdered and, since then, she wanders around. You dare come in? It is La Casa de la Niña Catalina, a tour of about 20 minutes, in the dark.
We made a character taking advantage that many years ago this house was a hospital, and that in 1949 it was flooded.
“We don’t know if people died, but what we do know is that when we acquired it the former owners assured us that they were scary, even, that was the reason they left it,” said Carlos Antonio Sandoval, the developer of the house.

Circuses are synonymous with family fun… or at least that was believed until the Circus of Fear arrived, a show in which you will face your greatest fears. The story revolves around Isabela, a girl who enters into a deep sleep and to get out she must face her fears, which have materialized in the circus.” It is an ensemble where we combine theater, circus performing arts and effects that create circus atmosphere; we have two tents, the first is a lobby with electronic music, DJs, bands, beer, snacks and characters that receive people.” After the lobby they go to the main tent where the atmosphere is already around the story of this little disturbed in her dreams and nightmares by characters that she herself has created through fear”, advanced Melisa Giraldo Fraijo, producer. It is not a house of terror, it is a nine-act circus show with scenery set in an ancient circus, everything takes place in darkness and, therefore, the viewer is forbidden to use his cell phone.
