This Circus will be filled with performers and decor that will satisfy all of your darkest desires. The only Halloween Party in Hampton Roads that gives you the full Halloween experience! A dark circus that hasn't been seen since the late 70's has decided to stop at Granby Theater on October 31st. A circus that hasn't been seen since all but one of it's guests were murdered at the Worcester camp grounds October 31st, 1973. Many have heard stories of this dark circus but few dared to attend. Over 500 guests decided to attend that terrible night and would never see the daylight again. The scene the next morning was so horrific that even the most experienced officers are still haunted to this day. The decapitated bodies of women, men and young children were hanging from the rafters under the big top as if their faces had been torn off. This circus was run by two brothers who lured their guests in with creatures unlike the world had never seen. Men attended to gaze at the beauty of the fire, lira and silk performers. Children came for the clowns and animals. Women were enticed by the strong men and ring masters. The lone survivor tells stories of the performers falling from the sky to chew on the fathers faces, the children were bludgeoned to death by the clowns and the women torn to pieces. Granby Theater has opened its doors to these brothers for one night only and they want you to come experience the wildest circus show you could ever imagine. They have promised to behave but we are not completely sure if they can resist. This exciting and haunting production allows partygoers to experience their deepest and darkest desires for one night only. It is our favorite time of the year and we promise a show like none other in Hampton Roads.
