Houses of Horrors

Doors 6:00 PM | Show 7:00 PM

Behind some of history’s most notorious serial killers, were places where no one thought to look too closely. A celebrated New Orleans socialite welcomed guests into her elegant Royal Street mansion while terrible rumors circulated behind closed doors. A charming con man built an empire of fraud and murder in the shadow of the Chicago World’s Fair. More than a century later, a grandmotherly Sacramento landlady offered vulnerable tenants a room, a warm meal, and a place to call home, while something far darker was taking root beneath her garden.

This Halloween season, Evidence and Spirits: Houses of Horror brings you face-to-face with Madame Delphine LaLaurie, H. H. Holmes, and Dorothea Puente in an immersive evening of true crime, dark history, live performance, and handcrafted cocktails. Step into their stories, separate the evidence from the legend, and discover how three seemingly respectable people concealed extraordinary cruelty behind perfectly ordinary doors. Come thirsty. Stay curious. And whatever you hear from the other side of the door, don’t open it.
