One project I’m actually finding myself getting pretty excited about is Darren Lynn Bousman’s THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL. This is probably because I recently got my first taste of REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA and I had a blast with it! So the fact that the same team are now taking us on a hellacious carnival trip has me tickled pink! Especially after today’s announcement!
You see Mr. Bousman and company are planning on taking THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL on a road trip and I’m here today to tell you all about it! The road tour, which kicks off on April 5th in Hollywood, will feature burlesque, special personality meet & greets, a Q&A forum, a whole lot of bad behavior, sing-a-longs, costume contests and more. On screen crowds will get to enjoy never-before-seen REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA behind the scenes footage and bonus features, and most notably, an exclusive viewing of THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL. Keep in mind, THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL can only be seen on this exclusive tour, so you must attend a showing to witness the madness!
In THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL, sinners are invited to a theme park where they endure the repetition of their transgressions. What chances do a conniving kleptomaniac, a gullible teenager, and an obsessed father stand when facing their own moral failings? Lucifer and his colorful cast of singing carnies invite you to grab a ticket to THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL to find out!
THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL will feature 12 original songs written by Saar Hendelman and Bousman’s partner in crime Terrance Zdunich. It stars Victoriandustrial rocker Emilie Autumn (below), Dayton Callie, M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Briana Evigan, Sean Patrick Flanery, Maggie “Captain Maggot” Lally and The Blessed Contessa, J. LaRose, Jessica Lowndes, Mighty Mike, internet star Hannah Minx, Ivan Moody, Bill Moseley, Ogre, Marc Senter, Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega, and Terrance Zdunich. All that’s left to do now is hit you all with the tour details! Oh… and to show you the trailer for this road tour. All of those goods can be found directly below so scroll on down and check it out!

MARC SENTER as THE SCORPION: A rebel even in Hell, this drifter is always seeking beautiful, new targets for his death-defying knife-throwing act. Any takers, ladies?

BILL MOSELEY as THE MAGICIAN: With a flick of his wand, this flamboyant conjurer can make more than rabbit disappear, but needs a little assistance. Can you spare a hand…arm, leg, or head?
M. SHAWN “CLOWN” CRAHAN as THE TAMER: Hell’s henchman, this ruthless enforcer has tamed his share of unruly beasts. Are you amongst those foolish enough to tempt his lash?
J. LAROSE as THE MAJOR: As the head of the Hellharmonic, this militant maestro keeps Lucifer’s court musicians in step. You can’t help but hoof to his doleful drums, marching you off to Hell!
