Tales of the Damned Immersive Event - Main Image

The must-see event of the Halloween season is back—and as bone-chilling as ever! From the minds behind the sold-out sensation, Tales of the Grotesque (2023/2024), comes an all-new, twisted anthology of gothic horror. With fresh characters, familiar tales, and its unique brand of terror, their newest installment—Tales of the Damned—brings literature’s most depraved characters to life … and death. In this haunting adaptation of the works of Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Oscar Wilde, join the visitors of the ill-famed Black-Mail House on a devilish journey into the unknown. After a lady of the night is brutally murdered, a mad doctor strikes a pact with the Devil to raise her from the dead. But when he comes face-to-face with her killer at a masquerade, all hell breaks loose. Descend into madness alongside Victor Frankenstein, Henry Jekyll, and Dorian Grey as they discover the consequences of playing God—and the monstrous repercussions when the Devil comes to collect. An immersive horror opera, Tales of the Damned invites you to explore Victorian Toronto through the eyes of history’s most disturbed authors, though it might just cost you your soul …
