FX-FEARLESS COMIC-CON
A large stature reads FX Fearless. It is surrounded by towering stone entrance gates with wrought iron fencing covered with Ivy. A large gate arch holds a sign reading FX. A scale model Dollhouse on a stone pedistal. The house is built out of white boards with black roofing covered in ivy and decorated with intricate white trim. The windows contain LED screens depicting American Horror Stories Trailers and miniature furniture. The lighting within gives off an eerie green glow.

To immerse guests at an unmatched scale, we built a surreal nightmare in the heart of San Diego Comic-Con. Hotstrike is not your average fabricator, we strive to push boundaries in our field. In collaboration with Creative Riff, our team managed technical design pre-vis, scenic construction, greens coordination, and set dressing for this installation.

FX-Fearless was a large-scale interactive brand activation. This event guided attendees through a haunted maze to promote new seasons of American Horror Stories, What We Do In The Shadows, and the launch of their new series Little Demon.

The room is lined with white columns and arches, disco balls hang from the ceiling. The room is bathed in green and purple lights.

We believe in creating installations at a scale and detail that defy the current status quo. This installation required 17 semi trucks, 16 replica street lamps, an 18' table, and 400 haunted vintage dolls. We’re not afraid of ghosts, monsters, or the seemingly impossible.

Our development and installation processes were streamlined by our integrated design team. Our digital workflow allows us to visualize the space and audience experience, letting our client explore options in real time.
