Where will your imagination lead you?
To Victor Frankenstein's lab or Count Dracula's castle?

Attend the annual Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival, located in North Baltimore County/Owings Mills/Pikesville area about 20 minutes north of Baltimore City. Best described as an alternative history of the Victorian era with emphasis on creativity, you’ll find authors, workshops, and panel discussions in a family friendly atmosphere. Try Tea Dueling, enter costume/regalia competitions, bid in the silent auction and enjoy evening musical entertainment. A roomful of vendors will tempt you with artisan wares from some of the best in the mid-Atlantic area.

Choose your inner monster…


Inspired by two legendary Victorian authors who shaped the monster genre as we know it—Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley—where will your heart lead you? Will the dark romance of the Nosferatu captivate you, or will the scientific musings of a mad genius draw you in?
