Creep LA is back with HAUS OF CREEP, another new concept to scare and disgust you. It looks to be heavily influenced by selfie experiences and Instagram museums... in that it hates them. This new setting has you freely walk around discovering over a dozen installations, while some new creeps interact with you. Oh, and a deranged puppet show always sounds fun. Sort of like an art museum at night with the lights off is close to what we think it might be like...except with crazy people.
