THE MONSTERS OF HOWL HARBOR
"The Ancient Agreement has been broken... but which monster is even powerful enough to have pulled something like this off?"
In the heart of Mid-City, Los Angeles, there lies a hidden portal... invisible to humans... known only to those who lurk in the shadows... MONSTERS! On the other side of this mysterious portal lies HOWL HARBOR, a hidden coastal town of fog-shrouded docks and abandoned boats. It's a haven. A safe space. No biting. No scratching. No monster business of any kind is allowed within these party-filled walls. Monsters from all over the world come to drink, to dance... to belong. But rumors of unrest are stirring... rumors that threaten to destroy the peace. Join us and investigate the rumors, uncover the secrets, and save the night from descending into chaos. Help us keep HOWL HARBOR a place where all are welcome (except humans, we will eat you).
Our iconic SOCIAL + MYSTERY + DANCE + PARTY returns!
This year, we’re thrilled to present The Monsters of Howl Harbor—a one-of-a-kind monster mash set in a boat-themed bar. Get ready for an unforgettable night like no other!
Monsters only.
Your costume should reflect something otherworldly, spooky, or beastly. All monsters are welcome—from the classic to the aquatic, from the contemporary to the unconventional—just NO HUMANS. While you are expected to appear as a monster, you're free to discuss your human day-lives and disguises. You don’t have to keep them secret, even in this immersive, themed world!
There's a mystery to solve.
Rumors of unrest abound at this peaceful haven... will you be able to uncover the truth and prevent Howl Harbor from descending into chaos?
We’re going vinyl.
DJ Frankenstein will be spinning his vinyl collection all night, evolving the vibe from mysterious intrigue to an all-out dance party as the night progresses.
$100 cash prize for best costume.
Whether you go traditional, embrace the harbor and boat theme, or come up with something completely unexpected, best is subjective! We’ll just have to see what you come up with—just remember, monsters only.
10pm performance by the birthday boy, Jesse Chapman.
A completely expected surprise performance that you won't want to miss. Let’s just say, you've never seen one like this before.
An extra-special toast.
After the performance, we’ll raise our glasses and have a special toast to the night’s (hopefully solved!) mysteries and the mayhem still to come.
This year, A Curated Situation is excited to showcase our 10th DARK CORNERS.
At A Curated Situation, we believe in the power of connection through unforgettable experiences. What started at the house on McNulty Avenue has evolved into a series of legendary Halloween parties that bring people together in ways that feel both meaningful and fun. Even in 2020, we innovated with a groundbreaking virtual event, proving that nothing will stop us from creating spaces where people connect. Our in-person return with VAMPIRES ONLY, THE HALLOW HOMECOMING, and MACHINE 83 continued to push boundaries, blending immersive mystery with Social Mixology™ to bring out the best in our guests. This year, the monsters are gathering—and so are the stories that will last long after the night ends.
