Dark Council Productions exists to summon immersive worlds through cinematic rituals, haunting performances, and mythic experiences that transport audiences beyond the veil of the ordinary.
What began in 2013 as the Haunted Mill Tour evolved into the Haunted Rail Tour 2023, and now emerges as the Dark Council — a collective of artists, builders, and performers conjuring immersive horror for a cause. Each event is a ritual of storytelling and community, benefiting Humboldt nonprofits through fear-fueled fundraising.
More than $250,000 has been raised and contributed to support local nonprofit arts, museums, and the preservation of historic landmarks.
The Council continues to honor the past while spiraling forward, summoning new experiences beyond the veil. From ghost trains to haunted halls, we build the myth together — one scream, one show, one story at a time.
Dark Council Productions is a Humboldt-based creative collective producing immersive, site-specific performances and multimedia events that blend theatrical storytelling, folklore, and film aesthetics. Our productions unfold like modern rituals — atmospheric, symbolic, and often unsettling.
From haunted theatrical tours and escape room experiences to cinematic short films and community fundraisers, we specialize in crafting memorable journeys that blur the line between audience and art. Each experience is built in collaboration with Humboldt County creatives, performers, and historic venues, bringing new life to forgotten spaces.
Now evolving beyond seasonal attractions, Dark Council Productions is expanding into year-round projects, including:
