BEYOND the DARK:

​
PDX Halloween '25
An Elegant Evening of Haunted Synchronicity and Metaphysical Comedy
For the Living and the Dead
Step into a soirée amongst the spirits with party host and paranaturalist, E.R. Perkins, as he guides his guests through an interactive theatrical encounter teeming with strange ceremony, Victorian séance history and genuine attempts at spirit contact. It’s a merrily macabre occasion filled with pleasing terrors for the curious and the Gothically inclined alike.
Perkins returns to PDX this Halloween at The Siren Theater with his new night of ghostly prose and spectral experimentation, BEYOND the DARK. He has presented his uncanny gatherings at Doomsday UK, East Coast Spirit Sessions III, and most recently held a Halloween residency at the infamous Stanley Hotel’s Underground Theater. Now he’s back home to share something much darker.
A Warning: This show is dark. It is a playdate with the dead. It is not for those of weak heart or inflexible moral disposition. Due to the dismaying themes explored and questionable artifacts employed, it is intended for mature audiences only.
Participation is essential.
​
Evening attire is encouraged.
Join E.R. Perkins for an elegant and unsettling evening of ghost story, séance history and ‘parlour games’.​

Séance Party at The Haunted Mansion
THE SÉANCE ORACLE
AT DISNEYLAND?!
YES. The Séance Oracle: Divination & Spirit Deck has materialized decorating the walls of Madame Leota's Somewhere Beyond at Disneyland, just outside the Haunted Mansion.​
I was surprised as you were when I was forwarded the Instagram story you see posted here. Click the image to see for yourself.
While I could not be more pleased at this development, I am concerned about some of the oracle spreads they have framed -- ominous tidings.
