What To Expect At Club Carnage

Your visit to Club Carnage begins with an R-rated, totally immersive Halloween walkthrough; leading you away from your normal surroundings and into a reality-bending, terror-laden, underground nightclub! Filled with spooky sights and sounds, this experience includes intense effects, scary characters, and potentially frightening visuals.

If you’re looking for an even more high-intensity experience, consider filling out one of Ashes Tales of Terror’s provided waivers. I won’t give anything away, but signing one of these documents ensures that your experience will include increased levels of interactivity and overall scare-factor.

After experiencing Ashes Tales of Terror’s Halloween teaser show, join the deadly afterparty in the main lounge! Club Carnage guests will enjoy all-night dancing, unique live entertainment, and spooky drink specials. More details below:

DJ Paul Vaine

While the immersive Halloween experience closes at 11:30, the dance floor doesn’t stop until 2am! Beloved DJ Paul Vaine (from Venue 13) will keep the party pumping with a mix of 80’s hits, Darkwave, Punk, Synth, Industrial, and Goth music styles!

Sideshow Performances

At both 9:45pm and 11:45pm, you can catch fascinating sideshow performances from local celebrities like Lobster Boy and Pig Pen the Clown!
