Trick or Tease? …. Why pick just one, when you can have both!
When the nights begin to get longer and leaves start to turn, you may feel a chill. It could be the San Francisco fog chilling your bones or it could be the chill of excitement when the monsters come out to play. At DIVA or Die this October, desire meets dread as the monsters come out to play… and they’re sexier than you remember. Ghouls grind, witches wiggle, vampires vamp, and creatures of the night tantalize in a sultry celebration of the spookiest season.
Our show is a goody bag filled with all the best tricks, treats, and temptations. It’s spooky, it’s sexy, and it may be the most fun you can have without selling your eternal soul to the damned.*
This show will provide you an array of eerie elegance, sultry scares, and enough bumps (and grinds) to keep your heart racing. This isn’t your neighborhood haunted house—it’s a decadent den of dark delights featuring the best in Halloween magic with assorted ghosts, goblins, and glitter pasties.

Dress in costume or just come as you are—our coven of dazzling performers will leave you bewitched, bothered, and begging for more.
Let yourself be lured by sirens, devoured by demons, and seduced by creatures who thrive when the moon is full. You’ll leave trembling… from more than just fear.
