ENTER THE THEATRICAL HORROR ATTRACTION ‘BAHAY TRESE’
Knock. Enter. Survive. – Experience the closest encounter with the spirits that linger inside Bahay Trese (13th House), a haunted house with address number 13, believed to be the playground of unappeased spirits from the Japanese occupation era. As they say, always check your new home; it might have a dark history living with it.
Eerie History
Bahay Trese had a rather eerie historical inspiration says PETA Artistic Director Ms. Maribel Legarda, who spearheads the conceptualization and direction of the attraction, the undocumented Friday the 13th, in a period of daily massacres that happened during the Japanese occupation in February 1945.
“We googled the Massacre of Manila, which is something that I’ve been interested in for a while,” According to her, “Every day in February there was a massacre, and it was all recorded; and it was so weird because on the 13th nothing happened, and then the massacre picked up again on the 14th until the 24th.”
“And so that was the premise of the whole house. What if, on the undocumented day, something really horrible happened in that house and the reason that the spirits haven’t been appeased is because they were undocumented?”, she asked.
Not the Ordinary Horror House
A lot of visitors already failed to survive Bahay Trese, some of them are said to be crying as they walk out through the ‘Duwag Exit’ for those who were not able to carry on and explore. Some also suffered minor scratches due to running from terror. On the other hand, various scary stories and encounters shared by the actors has kept the house shrouded in mystery. Who knows what to see lurking in the shadows for effect or for real? There’s just one way to find out. Enter in.
The first theatrical horror attraction in the country, the house and the rooms are designed by sculptor and production designer Mr. Boni Juan. All objects and spaces designed to escalate your fears, and with the lighting design by Jonjon Villareal and sound design by Jethro Jamon, expect the orchestrated elements to make your heartbeat race.
