Exclusive: First look at the spooky new Terror Vault show!

'HEXED' takes over the SF Mint for another twisted installment of the immersive annual fright fest.

It’s never too early for Spooky Season—and we adore Terror Vault, the annual immersive fright fest from the twisted minds of Peaches Christ and David Flower, that takes over the San Francisco Mint, October 2-November 1 (tickets on sale now). Here’s an exclusive sneak peek for our readers of new show “Hexed”:

Three witches, spread across the globe, each from a different cultural and mystical tradition, converge to form a coven so powerful it threatens to unravel the very fabric of humanity. As this Coven of Three performs their dark rituals, the rising number of missing children alarms a group of witch experts called The Believers. These experts seek to recruit unlikely heroes from our show’s guests to help them stop the coven before the world falls into eternal darkness. Are you brave enough to join them?

We can’t wait to score a VIP ticket with tons of bells and whistles (including access to the Triple HeXXXed Witch Strip Club). But before we find out which witch is which, we’re definitely hitting the Fang Bang Bar, the adjacent pop-up ’80s New Wave/Goth bar that’s truly one of the most fun in the city, with Halloween-themed cocktails and ghoulish go-gos. There’s only 16 nights of Terror Vault this year, so grab your tix fast!
