The graves were opened and the legions of the dead marched forth to Phantasmagoria. Come one, come all to the cabaret of indulgences of the macabre senses. Experience carnality and horror, aberration and fantasy, phantasm and illusion in the form of an underground curation of dark music and witchy performing arts. Heed the call magnificent creeplings for the ghostliest, ghastliest carnival in town draws ever near. Step right up and embrace the invocations of the netherworldly. Where all who roam here among our incantations become sojourners swaying in distant realms of void and vastness.
Toss a dime and win a prize. Dare enter our twilight zone of irresistible mystique and allure, overwrought through centuries of evil. What do you possibly have to lose? Is it your inhibitions you fear? Your fragile sanity you seek to preserve?
