Questions, answered

The Possession: questions

Are the Escape This horror rooms connected?

Several are told in pairs. The Haunting is the prequel to The Possession, which sends you back into Cathy’s house a decade later. Asylum begins with survivors of Buried Alive waking up in a padded cell. Dracula and Van Helsing share one gothic story from the Count’s side and the hunter’s, and Meat Grinder is Escape This’s Melbourne take on the cannibal story it first told in Cannibal, with a different villain. Each room still plays on its own.
