Which Stage You’ll Haunt at Hocus Pocus 2025 Based on Your Favorite Horror Movie
If your favorite film is Dracula: The Infinity Room
Sophisticated, seductive, eternal. You’re drawn to hypnotic sounds that summon power. The Infinity Room is like a gothic mansion, where masterminds like Cassian, Vintage Culture, and Damian Lazarus will have you under their spell with cinematic builds and deep melodies ‘til sunrise.
If you love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Chain Room
You’re not afraid of grit. You thrive in the underground, where sweat drips from the ceiling and the bass sounds like machinery. The Chain Room is Factory Town’s engine: grungy, wide, and full of slashing beats. This year, powerhouses like Sosa, Ruze, Kitty Amor, and Chelina Manuhutu deliver the kind of sets that make your bones rattle. It’s chaotic, thrilling, and just the right amount of unhinged.
If Night of the Living Dead is your jam: The Warehouse
In your book, you survive the apocalypse. Concrete walls, pounding kicks, and a dancefloor packed shoulder-to-shoulder with techno soldiers, The Warehouse is your bunker. 999999999, Coffintexts, and Interplanetary Criminal will turn this industrial room into a zone where the only escape is the music, and the only way to stay alive is by fast, sweaty dancing.
If Psycho or The Shining are your go-to: Cypress End
You love suspense, slow builds, mind games, and the creeping feeling of something extraordinary about to happen. Cypress End sits tucked against the train tracks, intimate and electric, with sunsets that feel almost unreal. One minute you’re swaying to Bakke, Danyelino, and Mai Iachetti, the next, a freight train cuts through the mix, and the crowd howls. It’s cinematic, eerie, and unforgettable: the perfect setting for your psychological thriller.
If Frankenstein is your favorite: The Park
You’re all about creation through chaos. You don’t just want to watch energy, you want to feel it stitched together in real time. Late-night Park sets by heavy-hitters like Adriatique, Disclosure, and Natalia Roth will bring the wild alchemy of techno and house alive, pulsing through the air like electricity in a lab. When the strobes hit and the bass roars, the crowd comes alive as one beautifully monstrous body.
