Enter a world of horror at our new fall festival Harvest Haunt —full of delights and frights! Experience the exclusive debut of the original stage combat show “Scream Queens,” which will be performed by LANCE Orlando on the event main stage on Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, at 6:30pm.

Steadfast gargoyle Salem Graves serves as Jack O'Lantern's loyal enforcer and steward of the Harvest Court. Disciplined, capable, and fiercely devoted to her duties, she has spent years ensuring the tournament runs smoothly and that Halloween's traditions are upheld. Though she officially serves as an officiant rather than a competitor, Salem secretly believes she has earned the title of Scream Queen through years of service and sacrifice. Will this be the year she chooses to seek the crown—by any means necessary?

In just two weeks, enter a world of horror at our new fall festival Harvest Haunt —full of delights and frights! Experience the exclusive debut of the original stage combat show “Scream Queens,” which will be performed by LANCE Orlando on the event main stage on Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, at 6:30pm.

First up, meet Jack O’Lantern. 🎃
The mischievous Herald of Halloween and host of the Scream Queen Tournament, Jack O'Lantern is the living embodiment of the spooky season. Part fairy noble, part trickster, and part enigmatic emcee, he delights in pageantry, stories, scares, and above all else, chaos. While he oversees the tournament, Jack has little interest in fairness or rules, preferring to let events unfold in the most entertaining way possible. Equal parts charming and unsettling, he encourages rivalries, fuels drama, and revels in unexpected twists. To Jack, the tournament is not simply a competition but a story, and he wants to see the most spectacular ending possible.

We are thrilled to have LANCE Orlando performing at our brand new fall festival Harvest Haunt ! Their original live stage combat show “Scream Queens” will be performed on the event main stage on Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, at 6:30pm. 🎃

When the mischievous Jack O'Lantern arrives to host the annual Scream Queen Tournament, monsters, spirits, and legends from across the realms of horror gather to compete for Halloween's highest honor. Among them is Autumn Night, a late-arriving outsider whose determination and Final Girl spirit quickly make her a crowd favorite—and a threat to Salem Graves, Jack's loyal enforcer who believes the crown should already be hers. As rivalries grow and tensions rise, the tournament descends into chaos when Salem abandons her role as steward and seizes her chance at glory, forcing Autumn Night to face her for the crown.

Filled with thrilling stage combat, memorable Halloween characters, and spooky seasonal spectacle, “Scream Queens” is a high-energy celebration of feminine power and horror storytelling where courage, ambition, and perseverance collide beneath the Harvest Moon. ⚔️👻🌕💀
