For generations, the vampires of Paris hid beneath the earth, bound by ancient commandments that taught them to fear their own nature—to conceal their hunger, deny their decadent joy, and mistake shame for virtue.

Then the old commandments were broken.

The vampires emerged from the darkness.

They found velvet. Candlelight. Music. Flesh. Theater.

And everything they had once been taught to hide became spectacle.

Thus was born the Théâtre des Vampires.

Now, for one night only, the Théâtre has crossed the Atlantic.

And you have been invited inside.

This Halloween, Pagan’s Paradise transforms into a decadent 19th-century vampire theater.

Cross the threshold into a world of crimson velvet, candlelight, beautiful monsters, sultry performances, ritual, and forbidden curiosity.

But be warned:

You are not merely coming to watch the performance.

You are part of the spectacle.

Enter the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice like never before in this immersive vampire theater event & after party.
🔥 Marvel at spectacular Fire, Rope & Burlesque Performances featuring our deliciously wicked cast:

🦇 Bunny & Hare @bunniandhare

🖤 Vampire Nyx @Nyxxiemoon

🤡 Sparky the Clown @kownsparky

⛓️ And the audience is part of the spectacle!

The evening begins when our Coven Leader summons the mortals into the Théâtre.

Before you may enter the world of the vampires, you will learn the Agreements of the Coven—the principles of consent, communication, sovereignty, and care that protect every creature who crosses our threshold.

Because within our Théâtre, deepest of wishes may be celebrated...

but nothing is taken that is not freely given.

Then the curtain rises.

A mortal has come seeking immortality.

You will witness their seductlon into the Coven through an immersive theatrical ritual of temptation, choice, symbolic death, and rebirth.

Will they retreat from the darkness?

Or accept the Dark Gift?

And when the newly created vampire rises, you may discover that their initiation was never the only one taking place.

The Coven has another invitation to make.

To you.

Throughout the evening, the rooms of Pagan’s Paradise become the chambers of our traveling vampire theater.

Expect a decadent night featuring:

• Immersive vampire theater

• Burlesque live performances

• The Rite of the Dark Gift

• Dancing & social connection

• A dedicated low stim area

• Consent-focused Guardians supporting the container throughout the night

As the evening deepens, the distinction between audience and Coven begins to disappear.

And the creatures once confined to the stage begin walking among you.

How far you enter their world is entirely yours to choose.

Perhaps there is something within you that you learned long ago to keep in the underworld. A part of yourself someone once called too much, too strange, too queer, too hungry...

The Dark Gift is the part of yourself you once mistook for darkness.

Come dressed for a decadent vampire theater of 1870s Paris or New York.

Think:

Vampires. Fallen aristocrats. Courtesans. Libertines. Victorian decadence. Gothic glamour. Corsets and lace. Velvet and leather. Fet/wear. Beautiful monsters. And the mortals foolish enough to deslre them. Historical accuracy is not required.

Do your best to fit the theme, any cocktail type outfit will also work really well.
