Summary

Destination Fear is based on the 2016 documentary “Trail to Terror” produced by The Laden's and Tanner Wiseman. The documentary is about capturing what true fear looks like while spending five consecutive nights in haunted places, which was shown in Theatres at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota on October 29, 2016.[11]

Destination Fear is a similarly themed documentary featuring paranormal investigator and documentary filmmaker Dakota Laden and his team of paranormal enthusiasts, including his sister, Chelsea Laden, and friends Tanner Wiseman and Alex Schroeder. The team takes to the road in an RV, visiting a number of reportedly haunted and paranormal hotspots across the United States testing the limits of human fear.

”We’re not hunting ghosts, we’re hanging out with them.”[12]

The cast takes a new approach to the paranormal with participants sleeping solo overnight at each haunted location and recording their experiences. The show sets out to portray real-life events and the psychological impacts these paranormal hauntings have on each member of the team.[1][2][13]

Destination Fear: Trail To Terror

At long last, “Destination Fear” fans get the chance to witness the beginning and experience the maiden road trip that kickstarted an insatiable fear-seeking mission in DESTINATION FEAR: TRAIL TO TERROR, a two-hour documentary directed and hosted by Dakota Laden. As the genesis for the hit TV series “Destination Fear,” the much-anticipated film – shot in 2015 and debuting for the first time on any entertainment platform – documents Dakota’s inaugural experiment with fear, resulting in a harrowing and unforgettable experience that would change their lives forever.

In TRAIL TO TERROR, Dakota Laden takes his sister, Chelsea Laden, and best friends, Tanner Wiseman and Coalin Smith, on a nail-biting journey to test their limits of fear. His goal: to capture real fear on camera by confronting it head on. Challenging the group to the max, Dakota does not tell anyone where they are going, only that they will be sleeping alone for five consecutive nights in five of the most haunted locations in America. What starts out as a unique experiment and RV trip with friends turns into a real-life horror movie, haunting them still to this day.

“’Trail to Terror’ is my most personal project,” said Dakota. “It’s my first-ever documentary and the seed that would eventually grow into ‘Destination Fear.’ It ignited my passion for filmmaking and exploring the paranormal. None of us anticipated where this road trip would really take us, and I’m excited to finally share the experience and film with everyone.”[14]
