Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—only this and nothing more …”
After its sold-out run of 2023, the must-see event of the Halloween season is back—and as bone-chilling as ever! With new twists, familiar tales, and its unique brand of horror, Tales of the Grotesque brings literature’s most depraved characters to life … and death.
In this haunting adaptation of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, join the visitors of the melancholy House of Usher on a candlelit journey into the macabre. Despite their apprehensions, a stubborn doctor, a resentful medium, and a murderer attend the funeral of an eccentric recluse—only to question the circumstances surrounding her untimely death. As they outstay their welcome, they uncover evidence of a connection between their disturbing pasts and the sinister presence stalking their every move. With their secrets exposed, they must summon their ghosts to survive the supernatural forces at work, and confront the meddlesome housekeeper who knows more than she claims. An immersive horror opera, Tales of the Grotesque invites visitors to explore Victorian Toronto through the eyes of history’s most twisted author, and come tapping at the door to the unknown.
Tales of the Grotesque at Campbell House Museum is an immersive theatre experience based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Adaptation by Brandon White. Musical direction by Shannon Mills
