The Nevermore Haunt features unique creatures, characters and scenes inspired by late 19th century Baltimore.

Come face-to-face with mangled, undead factory workers, the ghosts of drowned sailors, unlicensed medical practitioners and strange, terrifying monsters inside this historic 140 year-old property in Baltimore’s Old Town.

One of Maryland’s scariest haunted houses and a Baltimore Halloween tradition since 2016, The Nevermore Haunt also features spectacular sideshow performance and an outdoor bar featuring local beers and custom cocktails.

Dust off an ancient console, jam in your favorite cartridge, and practice your overly long attack combos as you set forth on an homage to the games you know and love. In this show, you're the player, naming the characters, their backstories, and ultimately deciding their fate on an epic journey through a fantastic land of pixels and comedy.

Garbage Quest is an original semi-improvised homage to retro video games, presented by Baltimore Rock Opera Society featuring the band Garbage Masher. BROS puts the controller in the audience's hands, guiding our plucky adventuring party through quests, romance, and against the evil forces of Monetization in this 1 hour celebration of gaming, fantasy, and electronic music.
