The undead rise again for NosferatV. All-new format, 16 new spaces; a totally re-vamped treat for Vampire lovers and Halloween enthusiasts. Renaissance Theatre Company is back for blood as it resurrects its most chilling creation: Nosferatu, Orlando’s Adult Vampire Experience, now in its fifth year. From September 5th through November 8th, 2025, the warehouse doors creak open, beckoning brave souls into a shadowy world where the undead prowl and the night never ends. Inspired by vampire lore from famous literature such as Bram Stoker's “Dracula” and TV and film such as “Interview With a Vampire” and even “Twilight,” “Buffy,” and “True Blood,”  Nosferatu is a one-of-a-kind experience unlike anything in the world. Inside a sprawling 15,468 square-foot haunted warehouse, guests dressed in all black–per the show's new required dress code—will be led by vampires through a series of immersive, spine-tingling vignettes. Each experience is different, and guests would have to visit 16 times to see every secret scene and interaction. The night culminates with The Choosing Ceremony at Vbar, the company’s seductive, underground vampire nightclub. Here, under flickering candlelight and the pulse of dark beats, the centuries-old Choosing Ceremony unfolds. Once every hundred years, the coven selects a mortal to join the eternal ranks of the undead. Witness fierce performances by dancers, singers, musicians, and some of Orlando’s most entrancing drag stars as the ritual reaches its bloody climax; a special preview of VBar on August 29th and 30th will include special guest and drag icon Alaska from Rupaul’s Drag Race Season 5 and winner of All Stars Season 2. Check out the latest theater and performing arts news from throughout Central Florida. “I’ve never seen anything quite like Nosferatu,” says Donald Rupe, Nosferatu Creator and Ren Co-Founder. He adds, “There’s a huge cast of 40 performers; dancers, actors, and musicians who fully embody a vampire Coven, walking around in fully designed spaces created by a team of more than 40 artists. It’s the kind of experience you’d expect to see in NYC, London, or Los Angeles, but it’s right here in Orlando.” Each year, the Nosferatu experience completely changes, boasting an entirely new concept, giving returning audiences a brand new experience, so returning guests get just as many surprises as first-time mortal visitors. Nosferatu is truly for adults 18+ as the show contains nudity, adult scenarios, and is centered on VBar, where patrons can purchase signature cocktails like the notorious VBlood, served in blood bags.  Guests can choose from a variety of ticketing options; tickets for the full Nosferatu experience are $66. VIP upgrades are available as well as VBooth private seating for up to six members of your own coven. Season tickets and Group Rates are also available. $20 Discounted Tickets for each performance will go on sale the day before each performance based upon availability.  Nosferatu is the latest installment of Renaissance Theatre Company’s mission to produce new works showcasing local talents. The Ren was founded in 2021 by Donald Rupe and building owner Chris Kampmeier and is now open more than 300 nights a year. Nosferatu plays September 5th thru November 8th.  Renaissance TheatrevCompany is located at 415 East Princeton Street, Orlando, FL 32803.  For more information, visit   www.rentheatre.com   Check out our 2025 Guide to all the spooky fun this Halloween in Orlando .

Hold on tight… Will you make it out alive - Or become part of the Legendary Curse? This Halloween, starting September 19, as the sun sets and shadows stretch across the land, Clermont’s beloved Showcase of Citrus will transform into a realm of unrelenting terror. Whether you'r 8 or 80, and you don't enjoy being overly scared, this is the perfect Halloween attraction for you! This will be the very first time that the Monster Trucks at Showcase Of Citrus have transported guests at night, with victims, sorry we mean guests set to encounter zombies, werewolfs, and more. Creative Director, Jack Castle explained, "We decided early on we wanted to create a ride that was perfect for families who want to experience a Halloween attraction that's between Disney’s Not-So-Scary Halloween and the blood-soaked intensity of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights." An ancient curse has seeped into the soil, awakening sinister scarecrows, grotesque monsters, and hordes of the undead. The once-familiar orange groves are no longer a safe haven—they’ve become a harrowing landscape of fear... Your only hope for survival: climb aboard a towering 16-feet tall, 40-foot long Monster Truck, manned by fearless Showcase Rangers, who will plunge yu into a wild escape through the cursed fields. But beware—this is no ordinary Halloween attraction. It’s an immersive, heart-pounding thrill ride into the very heart of a nightmare. Tickets are on sale now, but they are selling fast! Get yours now!! https://theshowcaseofcitrus.ticketspice.com/halloween-truck-tour The event kicks off on September 19, and is available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Only 8 runs per night.

Festive night to include fire dancers, drinks and island fun. Grab your flip-flops and throw on your best Hawaiian shirt — Wekiva Island is turning up the island vibes for its annual Kona Luau celebration.  The tropical-themed bash returns Saturday, Oct. 4, from 6 to 11 p.m., inviting guests to say goodbye to summer with a festive evening of live fire dancers, a hula hoop contest, Kona Brewing Co. specials and beachy giveaways — all along the scenic Wekiva River. The hula hoop contest kicks off at 7 p.m., followed by a dazzling fire performance at 7:30 p.m. Guests can sip on $25 buckets of Kona Big Wave or $4 Big Wave drafts. “The Kona Luau is one of our most beloved traditions,” said Carrie Vanderhoef, manager of Wekiva Island. “It’s the perfect way to wind down the season with our community and celebrate another year of the Island.” Tickets are not required for the Kona Luau. The celebration traditionally marks Wekiva Island’s anniversary. Celebrating its 17th year, Wekiva Island continues to serve as a hub for sustainability, art and education in Seminole County.
