Diablo Manor

What an incredible experience, walking back in time to the carnival days full of oddities and shows. Diablo Manor is a must see experience with a host who is entertaining with so many stories. A true entertainer. The meal simple but mouthwatering. Max 8 people so you get your moneys worth and more. Great evening was great friends. I will be making a return visit, so much to take in🫣

From the moment we walked up to the (clearly haunted) property, we knew we were in for something very special. Simply waiting in the foyer, in anticipation of the majestic front door to open was enough to get our blood pumping. Then the host unbolts the door and ….“welcomes” you. The curiosities inside are a mixture of fantastical oddities, vintage sideshow props, macabre art …and a few tasteful sprinkles of dark humour. The tour of the home is fascinating (pics are indeed allowed), and the performances (magic and seance) possess the perfect balance of professional execution, interaction, and nervous laughter, all devilishly woven in. Dinner was also very enjoyable, but you’ll spend most of your time wondering what’s going to leap out or surprise you next. The town itself, Spencerville, is a quaint, 400 person artist community and the drive to and through the town certainly added to the experience. My wife and our friends loved every second and will be back for certain!!

Truly an entertaining and sensory experience by Scott McClelland in his eccentric style in a surreal environment. Will definitely be returning next year! Be sure to check out his own art work around his home and some are for sale too.

This is 1st class entertainment. We felt like we were in a movie for 2+ hours. The back story to the exhibits, the magic, food and seance were all A+. You will not be disappointed. In fact you'll be talking about this experience for a long time.

The moment you step inside the vestibule, you're greeted by a wide array of oddities which may or may not give you the heebie-jeebies. Carnival music surrounds you and as the hour approaches your host, Scott, invites you and your party into Diablo Manor.

During our visit, my wife and I were treated to a history of choice curios around the salon. Scott's collection is nothing short of amazing, with many originals found and purchased over decades. He will regale you with stories of the transmundane and more. We were served a wonderful meal and wine in the most interesting dining room I've been inside.

Next came a performance of magic and a séance. I consider myself pretty well-versed in performance trickery, but I was truly immersed and flabbergasted from the show!

Scott has crafted something special here, and his experience and showmanship bleed through every dark corner of The Diablo Manor. I highly recommend booking tickets and taking a trip to Spencerville, ON posthaste.

Little tip: There's a washroom in the gas station/LCBO/beer store combo nearby.

We just returned for our second trip to the manor. It was just as amazing the second time around. Seeing the Grinch recited in its entirety was the perfect moment to get me in the Christmas spirit. It’s always an amazing evening and a truly you’ve never seen or done anything like this before. Will be retuning again

Absolutely gorgeous house inside, the host is amazing and a fantastic character. Scott is a great guy and a great entertainer. It's definitely worth a visit

What an amazing night!! From entertainment to food to visuals!! The artifacts and decor alone is stunning! So much character and so interesting! I will definitely be back and I can't wait!! Went way beyond my expectations!

Brilliant dinner theater with an engaging host. Truly enjoyed exploring the fascinating museum of vintage side show exhibits.

If you are of a certain age and remember old-school carnivals, go there.
Scott runs a mind boggling place with all kinds of memorabilia plus a really great show.
He is able to amaze you with tricks and shows that will leave you thrilled. You will NOT regret your visit.

Such a fun and entertaining evening! Definitely a must do. The food was great too! Hats off to the host.

Had a blast at Diablo Manor last night! So much to see, we have to go back. Christmas tree was lit and the storytelling of the Grinch was incredible!

Highly recommended for a group party, food from Two Sisters was sooo yummy! Fresh made pasta and monkey brains!

Scott was a great host, the history and the storytelling of each piece was so interesting. Alice and Wonderland magic tricks, card tricks… and more.

*note: There were no washrooms available, when we asked to use washroom we were asked if we could hold it. (Left at 10:00pm and the gas station down the road was closed) Made it a bit uncomfortable trying to sit and listen. TIP: Use washroom at gas station before you go. Easy fix.

Have fun and take lots of pictures !!

My friend and I had an absolutely Enchanted Evening. We really enjoyed the magic, The Emporium, and they prefer of oddities and paranormal intricacies. The host was most gracious and entertaining and I highly recommend going with others to enjoy a special evening that is so unique compared to anything else. We enjoyed the Halloween addition and are hoping to be able to make it out for the Victorian / Christmas edition as well. Absolutely fascinating!

Been to many of his shows and the privilege of the manor. Definitely worth every penny. Entertaining, spooky and funny too. 👀💗

My dad took me as my Christmas gift a little while ago and it was absolutely amazing. It ended up being only the two of us for the night and it was absolutely wonderful. The whole experience was really interesting and it's definitely one I'll remember and treasure forever. The host was really helpful and accommodating and it made for a wonderful evening all around. I definitely recommend it.

Had an amazing time, I went for my birthday and it was sooo worth it, he’s so kind and enthusiastic

FANTASTIC experience from start to finish! It was horrifying, intriguing, disturbing, fun and exciting, all wrapped into one incredible package! It becomes obvious immediately that Scott is not only passionate about what he does, but has perfected his craft. The attention to detail and quality of delivery resonates throughout. I highly recommend you experience the manor for yourself, in all of it's dark, twisted, but fabulous glory!! 💀💀💀

An evening at Diablo Manor is full of mystery and oddities. I spent the entire evening enchanted. Absolutely recommend for anyone with a love of spooky history and the paranormal.

The Diablo Manor feels like an entertaining museum with an amazing meal, mysterious host and loads of magic. The whole evening is magic! The review is asking what do I like about this business?? Everything! We have been twice and would still do it again.

My husband and I wanted to go somewhere different to celebrate our anniversary and this place was perfect. A little magic, a little mystery and a lot of the macabre. This place fits the bill.
