Local residents are inexplicably drawn to Madame Nightshades’s Mystic Carnival and the House of Mystery. An evening at a traveling carnival where food, drinks and roaming sideshow entertainment await.. but is all what it seems?
The year is 1949 and the estate has changed hands several times since the passing of Sarah Winchester. It’s most recent isolation is broken by the arrival of Madame Nightshade, an entrepreneurial owner of a small traveling carnival and self proclaimed investigator of supernatural phenomena.
Madame Nightshade’s Spirit Carnival and Outdoor Performance will kick off the evening.
Wander the halls of the house of mystery and embark on a terrifying journey through the worlds most haunted home. The Spirits that Madame Nightshade’s activities have provoked will draw you further and further into the darkest areas of the Winchester Mystery House.
You will be left to wonder who called you to the house – Madame Nightshade or the restless spirits of the Winchester Mystery House?
The best Costume Shop in the Bay Area is offering 10% Off All Halloween Costume Rentals to all Winchester Mystery House Halloween Haunt attendees. Please mention Unhinged: Nightshade’s Curse in store at checkout to receive discount.

Many of historical aspects of the home will not be visible during the show. For the history of the house, we recommend the Daily Mansion Tour. Outside guests are treated to a variety of strolling entertainments, a midway with games, axe throwing, fortune tellers and Halloween themed food & drinks..
While we loved Unhinged in 2019, this is an entirely new experience. Unhinged: Nightshade’s Curse will feature a new storyline, characters and scares throughout the house and the estate.
Between the indoor and outdoor experiences, guests should be expecting to be on property about 90 minutes.
