Opel Production and Vau De Vire Society, two of San Francisco’s biggest nightlife promoters teamed up for the 1st annual Phantasm – A Karnival Of Mischief and turned the Armory into an adult Halloween playground with multiple floors, top DJ’s, bizarre carnival performers and for the those that like to mix in a little bit of kinky fun, their was even a VIP floor that featured adult film performers and erotic bondage shows throughout the night. With a sold-out crowd of 4000+ Halloween revelers, it was clear that the organizers had conjured up the right formula for success given that this was the 1st year for this new edition and with so many other competing events happening throughout the San Francisco Bay Area since Halloween landed on a Saturday. The production was also part of the attraction as promoters spared no expense with inspired Halloween décor and abstract art throughout the massive venue. Daylight savings came to an end as clocks turned back an hour giving everyone more time to enjoy the spooky night. Lets hope that this becomes a San Francisco regular with even brighter plans for 2016.
