What this video covers
EscapeIT is the world's only officially licensed Stephen King's IT escape experience, located in Las Vegas and developed by Jason Egan of Egan Escape Productions after three years of planning. Spanning 16 rooms and running nearly 90 minutes, guests enter the town of Derry on a mission to find missing children while encountering full-scale recreations of scenes from the films. The Haunted Attraction Network visits on location to interview creator Jason Egan about the challenges of working with major IPs and his vision for year-round horror attractions. This behind-the-scenes look offers rare insight into the scale, design philosophy, and business side of bringing a blockbuster horror franchise to life as a live experience.
