‘The Inkhole’ was a recreation of the seedy, underground world from STX Films and The Jim Henson Company’s collaboration ‘The Happytime Murders’ executed by Giant Spoon. Over eight sold-out days, attendees lined up on Hollywood Blvd. to mingle with a cast of over 40 live puppets and human actors in this completely immersive environment. Attendees interacted with the characters throughout the space where they could grab a signature cocktail, watch stage performers (both human and puppet), have their photo taken with two crude-mouthed puppets in the ‘VIP Room,’ get (sugar) high with the house dealer in the ‘Sugar Den,’ play Blackjack in the ‘Casino,’ get a tattoo in the ‘Tattoo Parlor,’ and more before receiving puppet-themed swag in the gift shop on the way out. Reception was outstanding from fans and press alike, rightfully earning an extension for an additional weekend.
