Is TERROR VAUL actually haunted?!? Our own Peaches Christ (well, Joshua really) was THRILLED to join our brilliant friend, the very transgender ghost-huntress stand-up comedienne Roz Hernandez for an episode of her fabulous show The Haunted Doll while she was in San Francisco hunting ghosts and showing off her bodacious watermelon-type jugs. Naturally, we had to bring her deep behind-the-scenes of Terror Vault at the historic San Francisco Mint to investigate one very important question: is The Mint actually haunted? The answer may disturb you… or delight you. Find out for yourself:

Housing for Horror? Are you the light in the dark we’re looking for… with a spare room in San Francisco? We’re putting out a call to our community for a little behind-the-scenes support. Terror Vault is hoping to bring back a returning artist we truly value, someone originally from San Francisco who was pushed out by the city’s rising costs. We’d love to hire him again this year, but as you know, housing here has become prohibitive, and we’re trying to make sure the bulk of what we pay him goes toward his work, not just a place to sleep.

We’re exploring two possibilities:
• A short-term room rental
• Or a potential hotel sponsorship / partnership

Timing-wise, we’re currently looking at:
• The first two weeks of June
• And again in September / October

He’s quiet, clean, respectful, q***r, and will be out most days working at Terror Vault. If you or someone you know might be able to help, I’d really appreciate hearing from you directly:

Our own Penny PoundCake is taking the stage this Sunday for Pennies for Panama, a burlesque cabaret fundraiser to help send her to the Panama Burlesque Fest, and we’re rooting for her all the way.

Penny is one of the very talented set decorators behind the scenes at Terror Vault, helping bring our haunted worlds to life, so we’re thrilled to cheer her on as she heads toward her first international burlesque festival.

If you’re in the East Bay, head to The Ivy Room on Sunday, March 15 for a night of burlesque, drag, circus, belly dance, music, and more, all supporting Penny’s trip.

Break a leg, Penny. Bring a little Terror Vault magic to Panama. 🖤

Terror Vault’s 2026 show has a name.

Introducing SLASHED: Return to Hellville, the brutal new immersive horror experience from Terror Vault at the historic San Francisco Mint. Inspired by the outrageous slasher films of the 1980s, guests step into the investigation of the infamous Shellville murders after true-crime podcaster Petra Sterling disappears while researching the abandoned Fear Clinic.

With only Petra’s clues to guide them, brave volunteers must enter the sealed town of Shellville, confront the supernatural killer Darren Grieves, and stop the nightmare before it spreads.

To celebrate the announcement, we’re launching a Friday the 13th SLASH SALE (yes… slash, not flash).

For today only, enjoy a limited-time sale on Terror Vault merchandise. The deal disappears at midnight tonight, so grab your goodies before the clock strikes 13.

Hellville is waiting.

It has become annual tradition for us! We want YOU to help us name the 2026 Terror Vault show. Use this link to cast your vote: https://forms.gle/yTsWkXxZoAJxkLCA8

The latest Terror Vault offering sends guests into a present-day mission tied to Hellville, a town sealed off after a brutal 1980s slasher spree linked to forbidden fear experiments. When killings begin again in 2026, guests are enlisted to help stop whatever survived the evacuation and has begun to stir. Guided by a modern investigator with a personal obsession with the case, guests return to the abandoned ruins of Shellville, trapped in the 80's, where restless spirits linger and a relentless killer still hunts. Fear is no longer just a memory. It is the thing keeping him alive.

We are utterly obsessed with these stunning photos captured on our Terror Vault sets featuring the radiant Trish documenting their pregnancy in the most exquisitely gothic way imaginable. Powerful, darkly beautiful, and deeply moving, this shoot is a perfect example of how our environments can be transformed into something intensely personal and cinematic.

Our immersive sets and stock of props and costumes are available year-round for photo and video shoots. If you’re interested in creating something bold, eerie, and unforgettable, we would love to hear from you: [email protected]

When I decided to do a Hammer Horror/1960s Paperback pregnancy photoshoot rose to the occasion and was just as hyped as I was.

Thank you to and for the use of their fantastic sets (and some amazing technical support/prop sourcing from David the day of the shoot).

A very special thanks to for getting me pregnant, yes-anding my spooky ideas, and holding lights to make me look pretty during the shoot.

If you want to look like a smokeshow and feel like your authentic self while being super pregnant, I urge you to book for a pregnancy/maternity photo session!
