The performer behind Chains
Lucas Virgil brings Chains, the Demon King, to life at Field of Horrors. His Behind the Mask conversation looks back on 16 years in haunting and the work of turning a character into a presence that visitors remember. The costume includes 150 pounds of real chains, making its weight and physical demands part of the performance.
A character built through experience
Lucas discusses character creation and memorable encounters with guests, offering a look at the choices behind the finished monster. His story connects the striking appearance of Chains with the years of performance that shaped the character.
The people behind the haunt
The conversation also turns to Field of Horrors rebuilding after a fire and Lucas’s memories of his late friend Gus. Alongside the scares, it is a story about friendship, resilience, and the community that keeps a haunt moving forward.
