Update: just took another trip through the McKittrick Hotel tonight.... will be posting a video review of that completely different experience very soon!
Michael, when I got back from the show that night, immediately wrote down everything I could remember because I knew it would begin to fade like a crazy dream! That's the only way I was able to be so specific with my memories!
I went about 7 years ago, by myself and i fell inlove with the concept. The one think i do want to emphasize is: it's not only visial or tangible. (See & touch) they use the vents to release sents. And that was by far what made it so real. Each floor, room had its own identifying sent. The woods literally smelled like pine and dirt. You could smell the blood, the potions the freaking passion. Trippy. There was also speakers everywhere that you couldn't see but certainly hear and the music varied from creepy 20s jazz to appropriate sound effects, glass breaking, thunder, doors creaking. It hits ALL YOUR SENSES. What an experience! Also, you can only bring the clothes on your back. You MUST lock up bags coats and No cameras are allowed. GO EXPERIENCE THIS
You never did a new video review of your latest experience! Can I just saw how amazing you are at VLOGGING?! You are so animated and your tones of inflection are well paced and kept me excited. I had to skip much of it due to not wanting too many spoilers. I am so glad they didn't end this back in September 2012 as you indicated was happening. I cannot wait to do this in December when I visit NYC!!
I've been waiting for his new video as well!! His and a young woman's are the only amazing recaps I can find on YT and I wish there were more! (I'll be going for my fourth time in two weeks. So excited!)
By the way (and I know this is 7 years later), the card does actually have to do with when you enter the elevator. They don't check your card however, but there is a man or a woman calling the numbers of your cards and it's a bit of an honor system if you stay in the group you were "assigned".
Hi! Thanks for a great post. I'm amazed at how much you remember of the show -- for me it's such a blur! Saw the show again in May 2015 and it still packs a punch!
Thanks for making this video. I'm going to NYC in a few weeks, and now I must see this show. You're really handsome by the way. You should be an actor!

Great review, makes me miss this show. I had a really moving experience as well. Thanks for articulating this.

That young boy is adorable! Lol. Thank you for the review
Thanks Elmer! Glad you enjoyed it!
That one person let off of the elevator in your visit, wonder if that person went to the 6th floor?
Don't recall which floor the nurse was on when I found her..will go back and see if it's in my notebook from that trip....
You will NOT be disappointed! Go see it.... your experience will be uniquely your own, I assure you! Glad you enjoyed the review!
Thanks, Delaney! Glad you dug it...and my little guy!
No worries, Kieran! My names Carl Dean.... feel free to use the review as a reference!
I was exhausted from running up and down hundreds of stairs. I lost 5 pounds. I ate 3 lemon drops. I need to go again! Cheers!
I have seen both sleep no more and the drowned man in london and i felt that the drowned man was better. Punchdrunk is amazing!!!
