“Paranormal” Circus Tries to Normalize Demonic Themes Throughout America
A “paranormal” circus making its way through the country is pledging to bring wickedness and immorality to Americans’ hometowns as the current obsession with demonic activity is pushed ever harder against the Christian values of the nation.
Several traveling troupes of the Paranormal Cirque are constantly on a nationwide tour of America, spreading demonic themes to each town that it leaves behind in its wake.
Why America Must Reject Isolationism and Its Dangers
“Do you love thrilling, wicked, sexy, or even dangerous things? Paranormal Cirque will expose you to a unique creation of combined theatre, circus, and cabaret with a new European style flare.” Thus reads a description of the shows promoted by the organizing group Cirque Italia.
‘Unique and Creepy’ or blatantly demonic?
Paranormal Cirque (PC) is part of the broader cultural phenomenon that has seen a developing obsession with everything related to demons, witchcraft, and vulgarity. It is a “circus show,” but with what is described as a “unique and creepy twist.”
Certainly, the more stereotypical circus acts are indeed present, with acrobats aplenty. But “unique and creepy” do not adequately reflect the sinister reality.
“Interwoven throughout the evening is a light narrative about hauntings and possessions,” commented one secular reviewer.
Far from a “light narrative,” the show is very evidently based on demonic themes and promises to transport viewers to “a dark world.”
“While Cirque Italia is known for bringing the water circus to the United States, Paranormal Cirque is bringing blood instead of water,” said R. Midi, one of the performers.
Eternal and Natural Law: The Foundation of Morals and Law
From the very outset, the satanic theme is omnipresent. Attendees walk through a “hall of horrors” replete with demonic symbols such as five-pointed stars and “666” and actors dressed as demons. Actors use horns, devil faces, blood and skeletal features to more closely represent the demons whose tendencies they attempt to embody during the show.
Costumes are, as a rule, scanty and immodest, with the show’s designers explaining to eager Hollywood reporters how they seek to mix circus performance with immoral dancing shows.
“It’s a fun fusion between cabaret, burlesque, theater and all this stuff,” Midi added. Indeed, organizers banned young children due to the explicit nature of the jokes. “Don’t allow children under the age of 12 because of the hard violence, bad language, and adult humor,” they warned.
Anti-Catholic Attacks
Just as there is no shame in their use of demonic imagery, there is also no shame in their promotion of immodesty and indecency. The event is described as featuring “hypnotic and sultry acts,” and video footage readily proves this.
Lighting in the arena is a deep red, while a cacophony of distorted sounds is played in attempts to unsettle the viewers, all of which adds to the deliberate atmosphere desired by the show’s organizers. A hellscape is what has been sought and delivered.

Many of the acts themselves take direct aim at the Catholic Church. In one, a man dressed as a nun with a habit and veil performs a lengthy sketch full of vulgar gestures and jokes designed to draw laughs of approval from the audience.
Another act includes a fake exorcism with two priests and a scantily-clad girl possessed by a demon, flying around by virtue of a rope attached to her hair. One of the show’s creators lauded the feat, saying that “as movies and TV led me to believe—that’s what happens when you’re possessed by a demonic spirit.”
Still more evidence of the show’s overt demonic and anti-Catholic nature is found in the ringmaster. Replacing the customary figure of a circus ringmaster is a foreboding and ominous individual whose face cannot be seen.
Dressed as a monk and holding a cross-shaped crosier, his air resembles that of a demon more than a religious brother.
Clearly proud of the shows, organizers have now tailored them to make three different kinds: one show is deemed “darker,” another more “risqué,” and a third more “comedic.”
This promotion of immorality alongside the satanic overtones is no mere coincidence. Rome’s famous exorcist Father Gabriel Amorth noted how “lust” is one of the chief ways demons use to gain a foothold in man’s soul.

The show’s creator and owner, Manuel Rebecchi, comes from an Italian circus family and is himself Catholic, but has downplayed any concerns about the obvious demonic aspects of the show.
Obsessed with Evil
Such a show takes place in the broader context of the cultural abduction of Halloween, which has spread throughout America and much of the West in recent decades. Halloween and the months of October and November have now morphed into a time dedicated to un-Christian attention on death and life after death.
Indeed, in a demonstration of deep irony, it is often those same atheistic people who deny the reality of life after death who take a most active role in the secular Halloween events. Demons, skeletons, witches, vampires, and all sorts of often highly immodest costumes proliferate. Costumes depicting unnatural forms, made to resemble the traditional artistic portrayals of demons—such as horned skulls, long fangs and pointed tails—are found everywhere and are pushed for all ages.
The eve of All Hallows, traditionally the Church’s solemn day of prayer for the souls of the faithful departed, is largely no more.
In a Christian society, November is a time of prayer for the dead, perhaps accompanied by pious visits to their graves and a renewed focus on one’s own mortality and the subsequent need for ever-closer union with God. The great feast of All Saints, which leads into that of All Souls, highlights the other aspect of those souls in the Church who have died: they—as the Church Triumphant in Heaven—exemplify the crowning victory of a life lived in service of the will of God. With these happy souls in Heaven, members of the Church here on Earth and in Purgatory wish to be numbered.

The Church promotes a healthy and respectful relationship with death, one that acknowledges the mortality of all and places it within the context of the salvation of each man’s immortal soul. The somber, awful reality of Hell is an ever-present warning of the danger faced by every soul if God is rejected.
In contrast, the secular world inverts this solemn season into a time devoted to celebrating the demonic. No more are the Holy Souls prayed for or the saints honored, but instead, images of the fallen angels of Hell are championed.
This progression has hinged on the gradual, though persistent, rejection of God’s existence in whatever form the argument can take. Whether it be a direct rejection of God or a more implicit rejection of Him through the promotion of sin as a personal good, the atheistic agenda is key to the success of demonic-style obsession in society.
After, if God is declared a fiction, so also must demons be: and which member of the self-proclaimed intellectual society would admit to being worried about imaginary demons?
Fr. Amorth commented in one of his works: “The dramatic increase in the number of possessed persons and spiritual disturbances makes me say that the malice and superstition of those who resort to them—including those who, even as a joke, practice forms of occultism, such as séances—has grown in correspondence with the generalized decline of the Faith and the spreading of a culture favoring magic.”
The Catholic Church clearly warns against and prohibits involvement in demonic activity: “All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others—even if this were for the sake of restoring their health—are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion.” (Catechism #2117)
Rejecting God to embrace Paganism
Demonic images and symbols are thus displayed as if they are a trivial matter, which society can laugh at in common. Without a doubt, these pro-satanic celebrations are aided by the atheistic ideals of secular society, which scornfully rejects the teaching of the soul’s immortality, of Heaven and Hell, and of good and evil.
Why America Must Reject Isolationism and Its Dangers
If a demon is only a laughable, imaginary being, then why should it not be celebrated?—such goes the logic of the secular ‘Halloween’ activists. They further argue that cavorting in costumes designed to cause as much horror as possible—and which directly draw from the images of demons—is merely an innocent part of this event.
Like a snowball rolling down a hill, this promotion of the demonic has only accelerated in recent years. Examples of this abound and include once-Catholic Ireland, where the “Púca” Halloween celebrations are thinly veiled, promoting satanism and ancient pagan rituals.
“There is a striking correlation between the Púca festival events & the pagan celebration of Halloween. The festival is loaded with spiritual malaise,” said volunteers with the Irish Society for Christian Civilization.
The end result is the same. Satanism is pushed throughout society; demonic images are found commonplace among young and old. Yet Satan does not care which way his tenets are promoted, if he is believed in or not, as long as he is indeed promoted. Thus:
- Society obsesses itself with death—but death divorced from its true meaning in Christ.
- Society obsesses with demonic themes—but delights in them rather than understanding the true nature of the spiritual battle.
- Society takes delight in the ugly, the unnatural, and the disordered—ultimately rejecting the very principles of a justly ordered mind.
The promotion of satanic-themed shows such as Paranormal Cirque is one sure way for this societal shift to be effected.
