After the resounding success of its walk-through “Haunted Halloween” adventure in October and November, Encuentro Oceanía shopping mall’s Ping Poing adventure company has brushed off the dust and cobwebs of its scariest Day-of-the-Dead paraphernalia and given it a “second life” with a revamped interpretation of sinister Christmas tales.

The newly opened, 10-minute “Christmas Horror Story” experience mixes spooky holiday goblin-elves with Ebenezer Scrooge-style phantoms to create a fun experience for kids and adults alike.

This walk-your-way-through-horror labyrinth — replete with strobe lights, scary mirrors, ear-piercing shrills and gonna-get-you monsters jumping out of nowhere — terminates with a mini escape room quest and is open to the public daily through mid-January from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. for 100 pesos a person.

You can find the “Christmas Horror Story” adventure on the top floor of the Encuentro Oceanía shopping mall, located on Avenida del Rock 355 in Mexico City’s Moctezuma Segunda.
