About Us

Shrouded in mist on a damp and utterly dreary night many years ago, Infinite Abyss founder Erynn Dalton devised a plot... to create unique, original horror for the droves of craven fanatics who desired a bloody "cut" above the ordinary. From that devious plan emerged Infinite Abyss Productions, a horror-themed theater and entertainment company comprised of South Florida's best talent. Beyond special events, theater and film, Infinite Abyss Productions creates and executes unique live performances. This includes movie pre-shows, festivals, haunts, private events, story telling, genre conventions and more.
