Audio By Carbonatix

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 8, 2025--

This October, Weedmaps is bringing horror and culture together with THE STIGMA: A Weedmaps Haunted Experience. This groundbreaking immersive haunted house dares guests to step inside ground zero of a deadly outbreak.

Created in partnership with renowned horror producers Sinister Pointe, The Stigma drops guests into the middle of a quarantine zone inside a police station and morgue. Hazmat crews fail, officers lose control, and the infected close in all around you. With narration by NFL icon Marshawn Lynch, this 15-minute, adrenaline-fueled journey goes beyond traditional haunted attractions, plunging attendees into a full-scale outbreak experience.

“At Weedmaps, we’ve always believed cannabis is more than a product; it’s culture,” said Jonathan “JJ” Jones, SVP of Markets & Culture at Weedmaps. “With The Stigma, we’re pushing boundaries in entertainment by merging immersive storytelling with state-of-the-art production to create something truly unforgettable. This isn’t just a haunted house; it’s a cultural moment.”

“Doing the voiceover for The Stigma was dope, it let yo’ boi get in on the action without having to outrun the zombies myself, ya know what I’m talkin’ about? I’m hella juiced for people to hear me in there and get a little surprise while they’re getting the shit scared out of ‘em,” said Marshawn Lynch.

General Admission Haunted House will take place at 451 South Beaudry, Los Angeles, CA 90017 on October 11, 17-18, and 24-25, 2025, with two nightly timeslots at 7 PM and 9 PM. Tickets available beginning October 1 via Eventbrite: Weedmaps Presents The Stigma – General Admission.

Blending horror, culture, and cannabis, The Stigma redefines what a haunted house can be. Guests won’t just watch the outbreak unfold, they’ll live it.

Will you survive…or become part of The Stigma?
