About Us
From the depths of purgatory and through the shadows of the bayou Cirque des Morts Vauceville Society rises to bring you a true vaudevillian experience to entertain and delight.
But beware... It may cost you your soul.
In the beginning Cirque des Morts began as a humble yard display, put together with doting care by a Halloween-loving family. Over the years it had become the neighborhood spectacular, complete with a full circus tent, performances, and many, many skeletons including our beloved Charlie, the 12ft Home Depot skeleton.
2023 marks the beginning of Cirque des Morts' new chapter of full-scale, year-round productions and community programs.
We offer performances for all ages or the strictly 19+ crowd, such as full Vaudevillian variety shows, singular acts from our in-house circus performers, as well as "Halloween-for-hire".
Let our creatures of the night give your guests an event to remember...
