The Devil's Ball: Creepy Carnival

Cherried Events welcomes you to the The Devil’s Ball: Creepy Carnival
Once a glittering jewel of 1920s vaudeville, the Graves Family Carnival toured the world with wonders never seen and acts that defied death itself.
But beneath the sequins and sawdust lay darker ambitions.
In 1933, Ringmaster Alistair Graves performed a secret ritual on Halloween night—seeking to trap time itself and preserve the carnival forever.
It worked. But the price was steep. Time fractured.
The performers were cursed to eternal twilight, stuck between life and death.
Now, each year, Creepy Carnival re-emerges from the veil, beckoning new souls to witness its spectacle... or become part of it.
Each performer plays their part eternally, their former glory twisted into something dark, mesmerizing, and cursed.
