Haunted House: Summoning the Damned + Scary Stories

Haunted House: Summoning the Damned
Friday, October 23 | 7:00–10:00 PM
She Calls. They Return. You Die.
Enter Summoning the Damned, this year’s immersive, story-driven haunted attraction at Alliance for the Arts. Madame Morta has invited you to a séance—but communicating with the dead is only the beginning. The spirits she summons are trapped, and she needs living souls to take their place.
Journey through a haunted house filled with theatrical characters, terrifying encounters, immersive scenes, and familiar souls summoned from beyond.
The price of admission is for the Summoning the Damned haunted house only. 
Each night of the Halloween event, Stage Fright Nights, something different will be happening outside the haunt.
On October 23, read, watch, hear…

Scary Stories
Some stories are meant to be told in the dark.
Step into an evening of suspense, imagination, and live storytelling during Scary Stories, a free, one-night-only sideshow presented as part of Stage Fright Nights: Summoning the Damned.
Wander through a gathering of local horror, thriller, and mystery authors, experience chilling theatrical performances, and become part of the story through interactive activities. Whether you prefer ghostly tales, unsettling mysteries, or stories that take an unexpected turn, Scary Stories offers something for every fan of the strange and macabre.
Browse books and meet local authors, watch thrilling one-act plays and monologues performed live, create your own frightening tale through the Scary Dice Story Generator Game, and explore the darker side of the Alliance through haunted tours. The evening will also feature a live horror podcast, bringing eerie conversations and chilling stories directly to the audience.
Whether you are searching for a unique Halloween experience, an evening with fellow horror fans, or additional entertainment before or after the haunted house, Scary Stories is free to attend and filled with suspense, creativity, and theatrical thrills.
