SAW Director Darren Lynn Bousman Teams Up with Haunted Attraction

Kansas City, brace yourselves! Esteemed horror director Darren Lynn Bousman is bringing a terrifying new experience to his hometown this Fall. Bousman, known for directing films like Saw II-IV and Spiral, is teaming up with the city’s haunted house EXILED: Trail of Terror to create Exiled: Crooked Rose Woods. This unique collaboration promises more than jump scares and spooky hallways. Bousman, a pioneer in immersive horror, plans to craft a living, breathing experience that will leave audiences emotionally shaken.

With this new venture, he aims to redefine horror entertainment once again. Morgan Rooms, co-founder of IIIexperience
